Description: | A copper-alloy medieval jetton struck during the reign of Charles VII in the period 1422 - 1461. On the obverse is the shield of France with three fleurs within. There are elements above and flanking the shield but the corrosion makes these indecipherable. The legend reads '+AVE MARIA GRACIA PLN. On the reverse is a triple-stranded straight cross fleuretty in a 4-arched tressure. The reverse legend reads A V E M. It is similar to those illustrated in Mitchiner 1988, p. 193. The diameter is 25.67mm, the thickness is 1.25mm and the weight is 2.62g. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | http://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/r... | Go to resource |
