Description: | A bent and cracked post-medieval rose and orb Nuremberg jetton of Hans Krauwinckel II and dating to AD 1586-1635. See Mitchener, M, 1988. Jetons, Medalets and Tokens Vol I London : SeabyI, pp.435, 441-2 & 447, nos. 1545-1552.Obverse shows three crowns alternately with three lis arranged centrifugally around a central rose. Obverse legend reads H[ANNS KRAV]WINCKEL IN NV. Reverse shows an Imperial orb surmounted by a cross patty, within a tressure within three main arches. Reverse legend reas GOTES [R]EICH [BL...]BT [EW]ICK. The missing letter or letters would either have been 'I' or 'EI' to read BLIBT or BLEIBT. Die axis is 12 o'clock. Weight is 0.9g, diameter is 21.1mm, thickness is 0.5mm.This jetton is bent in two places and has a thin crack that runs from the edge of the flan, near to the 12 o'clock die axis, through the legend and into the edge of the central field. The crack stops within the tressure, just above and to the side of the top of the cross patty. The bend that is close to the edge of the flan bends over to rest over the flan almost touching the surface. This bend and the mud adhereing within this narrow gap obscures the [BL...] of BLEIBT or BLIBT from being legible.
