Obverse depicts a shield with six lis in 3-2-1 formation, no other decoration is visible due to wear and the legend is illegible. The reverse depicts a possible shield with a cross potent inside it, or it could be a triple stranded cross fleuretty in a four arched tressure, this is very difficult to be certain as the Jetton is badly worn. The legend is illegible. Mitchener (1988), page 169, no 417 - 434. Diameter: 27.5 mmThickness: 1.9 mmWeight: 4.4 g Reference:Mitchiner, M. 1988. The Medieval Period And Nuremberg.
