Description: | A Medieval copper-alloy French jetton, probably struck at Tournai, dating to c. 15th century AD. The type seems to be of Tournai stye, approximating an older French design (Shield of France modern, but having lost the shield). Similar examples are recorded on the PAS database, for example: HAMP-ADC141 and NARC2727. Cf. Mitchener 641-645.Obverse: Three large lis within a pelleted inner circle surmounted by a star above.Obverse legend: illegible; seems to begin at the 10 o'clock position with two stars, possibly AVE AVE.Reverse: Long cross of three strands fleurdelisee with the two outer strands composed of pellets, with a quatrefoil in the centre, enclosed by a tressure of four arches with large initials in each corner. The initials are illegible save for one, which is an 'A'; it is possible that this would have read 'AVE M'. A mullet seems to sit in the outer angle of each spandrel.Reverse legend: Missing.
