Description: | A late medieval copper alloy French 'IHS' jetton circa 1497-1521 Originating from the Tournai region of France. The obverse central field has the religious monogram IHS with a coronet above. The inscription is AVTEM * TRANSIENS * R (latin translation is 'But Passing') The reverse has a large cross pattee with a coronet within each quarter and the outer inscription reads IBAT ( ) EDIV * MORVM * ( translated: 'went high morals') Reverse word-stops are what appears to be a crude cross pattee within a circle after MORVM and a joined double saltire after EDIV.
