Description: | A copper alloy English jetton dating to the mid 14th century AD. The jetton is in good condition but appears to have had an attempt to pierce it centrally from the reverse. The hole does not penentrate to the obverse. This is a late pictoral jetton depicting a star and crescent on the obverse and a long cross, in imitation of the coinage of the time, on the reverse. Similar examples are illustrated in Mitchiner (1988:117) nos 245-251. These jettons date from c. AD 1345-1355.
