Triple stranded cross fleuretty in a 4-arched tressure reverse.Obverse: Crowned king seated facing on a seat without a back rest, holding a sceptre in his right hand, resting left hand, leafy spray in field to either side. Reverse: Triple stranded cross fleuretty in a 4-arched tressure.The jetton has been perforated twice and may have been reused as a button.Mitchiner (1988, p.160) discusses the origins of these jettons with the closest numismatic prototypes being the Royal d'or (Masse d'or) issued by Philippe IV de Bel (AD 1285 - 1314) in 1310.
