Description: | Worn and chipped jetton with a long cross on one side, the other unclear. Inscription illegible. It appears to be plated with dark brown surfaces and a pale grey core. Perhaps more likely to be a foreign coin.Thought to be a Louis XII Chatel Tournois Jetton (1497-1515). The obverse shows a stylised castle, basically an open square with a triangle at the centre - possible lis at the sides. Legend may read something like SIT IIOIIIEII DOIII I II I (sit homen domini). From Mitchiner, M, 1988. Jetons, Medalets and Tokens, Volume 1. The Medieval Period and Nuremberg, Seaby, pp239-240 (Reavill, P pers. comm., 2011).
