Description: | A copper alloy English jetton dating from the reign of Edward III or Richard II (1350 - 1399). The obverse shows the King standing under a canopy and is the commonest type (Berry's type 4). The reverse is more unusual and is not listed in Berry or Mitchiner. It is a short cross fleury with a crown between three pellets in each angle. The most similar is Mitchiner number 271 which has a short cross fleury reverse with a crowned lis in each angle. The obverse legend reads GRA REX. The reverse is harder to read but seems to be: GLORIA DAT (seen Berry page 40). The edges of the jetton are damaged. It has a dark green patina.
