Description: | A complete copper alloy jetton dating to the 16th century. The obverse is very worn but a lis and part of a crown are still visible which would have made up an alternating design of three lis and three crowns around a central rosette. Part of the legend is still visible and says HANNS KRAV[ ] NVR referring to Hans Krauwinckel of Nuremburg. The initial mark is a six petal rosette. The reverse depicts an orb within a border. There is a legend around the outside of the reverse but this has largely worn away. The pierced hole is near the edge of the jetton and has worn through to the edge. Due to the position of the hole it seems like that the jetton would have been suspended for use as a pendant.
