Description: | Medieval jetton: Crown type jetton which were introduced by Philip VI in 1340 where the body of the crown was decorated with three rosettes. John the Good (1350-64) used the design as well as Charles VI up to 1385 (Mitchiner, M. 1988 Jettons, Medalets and Tokens: The Medieval Period and Nuremberg Seaby, p. 179). As the jetton is in poor condition we can only narrow down the dating to probably 14th century.Obverse: Illegible legend. Crown with three rosettes on the body and an annulet either side.Reverse: No legend. Triple stranded cross possibly.Similar to Mitchiner (ibid No. 478).
