Description: | A very worn and extremely corroded copper-alloy late Tournai French Jetton of late Medieval date, c. 15th-early 16th century AD. The obverse depicts three circles arranged in a triangle each enclosing an uncertain shape, within a large granulated inner circle; the reverse is indiscernible.According to Finds Liaison Officer and jetton specialist Robert Webley, there are two main, successive groups of 'Three circles' in Mitchiner, dated to 1461-1497 and 1497-1521 respectively. The legends are difficult because the letter 'M' is rendered with upright strokes - ie. 'III'. Some (Ibid, p211) bear the legend 'O IIIATER DEI IIIEIIIENTO IIIEI' ('o mater dei memento mei'), which seems to fit with the remnants on the legend in this case. Similar late Tournai jettons found in Salisbury tend to be from the last quarter of the 15th century (pers. comm. 6.6.12).
