Description: | A worn and slightly corroded medieval copper-alloy jetton of 15th-century date. Obverse design 'Shield of France' Jetton most probably struck at Tournai. Measures diameter 25.43mm and weighs 1.9g.A parallel's can be found on the database:- HAMP-52AE01 where Rob Webley comments 'Even though there is no direct parallel in Mitchiner (1998, 227; cf. ref. 682ff.), the slightly blundered legend around the obverse design ('Shield of France') suggests that this is a stock jetton, most probably struck at Tournai. Similar jettons found in Salisbury (Saunders ed. 2001, 234; e.g. ref. 138) are dated to the third quarter of the 15th century' .
