Description: | A nearly complete copper alloy Low Countries Medieval jetton, similar to Barnard Pl. XXIII, no. 1 (1981: 187). Barnard suggests that the jetton is from the reign of Philip le hardi, Duke of Burgundy between 1363 and 1404. However, as this jetton is unusual, a more general date range of 1350-1450 is suggested here until further research confirms this association.The obverse bears a heater-shield of Burgundy-modern and Burgundy-ancient (the bands in the top right quarter being incorrectly aligned) and has the legend 'AVE MARIA [GRA]CIA [M A]'. The reverse bears a triple-stranded straight cross fleuretty within a tressure of four arches. Within the inner angles are the letters 'A/M/A/M', within each of the four external angles is an annulet flanked by two pellets. The jetton has a dished flan measuring 27.49mm in diameter, 1.32mm thick and weighing 3.37g. For a similar PAS database example cf.: BH-D0E4B4.
