Description: | Medieval copper alloy French jetton. The jetton has been pierced at a later date, probably post medieval, probably for use as a pendant. It probably originated in Tournai, or possibly Toulouse. The obverse inscription would read something like AVE MARIA DEI GRACIA or AVE MARIA GRACIA PLENA. The reverse is a triple stranded straight cross in four arched tressure. It probably dates to between c1400 and c1500 AD, but maybe from as early as the mid fourteenth century. There are other similar jettons on the database eg. YORYM-74B0F7, SWYOR-4B1D14, HAMP-08DBB4. The diameter is 26mm and the weight is 5.17g
