Description: | A copper alloy Jetton dating to the 15th century. The jetton has been pierced five times in the centre, suggesting that it was probably resued as a button. The obverse depicts a crown in the centre, although it has been obscured by the perforations. Around the perimeter is a garbled legend, ':+AVGR...AR...AGIAP....A,' part of the perimeter of the jetton is broken and not all of the legend is therefore, legible. The reverse of the jetton shows a triple stranded cross flory in quadrilobe, trefoil of annulets on the cusps. The object is green in colour and weighs 2.8g. It measures 26.61mm in diameter and 0.69mm in thickness. For examples of this kind of jetton see Mernick, P and Algar, D. 'Jettons and Casting counters' in Saunders P. (ed.) (2001) Salisbury and South Wiltshire Museum, Medieval Catalogue Part 3, Salisbury: 229: no.'s 84-87.
