Description: | An extremely worn copper alloy Medieval jetton, probably of Edward I (1272-1307 AD). Most of the obverse of the jetton is too worn to identify fully, but it seems to have a legend border of alternating pellets and stars, possibly interspersed with some lettering. The reverse is of a long cross fourchee with six pellets in each quarter and pellets in the outer legend border. Slightly off of the centre of the long cross, the jetton has been 'pierced' or impressed with a small circle to indicate its proper usage as a jetton. A similar jetton is illustrated in Fletcher, E. 2003 'Tokens & Tallies Through the Ages', p21.
