Description: | A copper alloy jetton of Medieval date. It is probably English, dating from about 1280 - 1400, but no parallel has yet been found. It has the same design on both faces; a spray of foliage consisting of a curved stem which divides into three. At the end of the central stem is a group of three pellets surmounted by three radiating curved lines, perhaps representing a flower. The other two stems terminate in pointed, pear shaped buds or leaves. The central design is within a beaded border. The jetton in uninscribed; instead of the legeng is a border of rosettes with a single central circular hole and five petals on each. It has a die axis of 10 o'clock. The jetton has a well developed smooth green patina with some edge damage.
