Description: | Copper alloy feudal jetton struck for the Bishopric of Therouanne in the Pas de Calais, France, with a crozier over a spade shield bearing the charge of the Three Mitres, on the obverse and a triple-stranded cross fleuretty with a central quatrefoil on the reverse. There is a torn hole from one edge, which looks like damage rather than a deliberate perforation, dating from the mid-15th century, Mitchiner 716.This ephemeral series appears to have been issued during the politically confused period when France and England were contesting control over the region (Mitchiner, 1988, 235).
