Description: | A Medieval copper-alloy English sterling bust jetton, dating from the reign of Edward II to early reign of Edward III, c. 1320-1350 AD. The jetton was decorated to approximate a contemporary silver long cross penny. The obverse depicts a bifoliate crowned bust facing within an inner circle. Positioned around the circumference of the obverse, the remains of a false legend are visible with interspersed letters and mullets, reading: RI * [...] * M [...] * [...]. A small circular hole is positioned at the centre of the obverse, creating a raised pellet in the centre of the reverse. The reverse has a long cross pattee, having three pellets in each quarter with a further smaller pellet in the centre of each, all of which are positioned within an inner circle. The circumference of the reverse also has a false legend, though consisting completely of pellets.
