Description: | A complete, Post Medieval, struck or hammered, copper alloy-brass, Nuremberg jetton. Fair size, but a very thin example. Obverse: Probable three crowns and three lys surrounding a rose. Inscription: []DI[]. Reverse: 'Reichsopfel' - an orb surmounted by a cross within a double tressure of three arcs and three angles. Inscription: []DUVN[]. Mint name: Nuremberg.The jetton is in poor - extremely worn condition with an edge crack and small part missing. The reverse is struck a little off centre. It is rather corroded, a matt brown surface with a couple of pale green verdigris patches. This jetton is likely to date to 1580-1610. Ref. Detector Finds 2, Gordon Bailey, Greenlight Publishing 1993, page 96-98 no. 11 & 14. The jetton is 23.52mm long, 22.49mm wide, 0.54mm thick, diameter 23.52mm and weighs 0.9g.
