Description: | A complete struck / hammered copper alloy Jetton, of uncertain issuer, but probably of Medieval dating (AD 1300 to AD 1500).The jetton is circular in plan and heavily worn. The obverse is unclear, with a probable fictitious legend around the outside of the central circule. The reverse has a straight double stranded cross fleuretty, within an arched tressure. Letters are present at the apexes of the tressures, but only 'M' can be read.The jetton has a diameter of 26.39 mm and is 1.79 mm thick. It weighs 6.7 g.The jetton is a dark green colour, with an even surface patina.It is probable that this Jetton is one of the series issued at Tournai during the 14th and 16th Centuries but due to the heavy degree of wear, this is hard to confirm.
