Description: | A post-medieval copper alloy modified jetton, probably dating 16th - 17th century. The object has been pierced and cut 5 times to create a flower design. The jetton is incredibly worn and it is difficult to discern the original motif and inscription, though there is no corrosion product on the object at all. On one side the inscription "...AT...IVS...ITIA..." is legible with a number "2" in smaller font underneath the "ITIA", probably part of the date, and a dotted line below a fleur-de-lys in one of the segments that may have been a crown. On the other side is "...AM...VENS...". It is therefore difficult to tell much about the original jetton.The object may have been converted to make a pendant, alternatively it could be a type of whirligig toy (though they are often pierced in the centre).Dimensions: diameter: 26.94 mm; weight: 3.89g.
