Description: | A medieval copper-alloy English jetton. Bird type depicting bird standing right with rearward looking head, holding floral sprig in beak, Berry type 8, Mernick reference 4a.4.4, dating to c. 1280-c. 1340. Mint uncertain. A different bird design jetton can be found illustrated in Mitchiner (1988, 113; no. 218).The jetton measures 19.3mm in diameter, 1.3mm in thickness, and weighs 2.24g. It bears a central punch as is conventional on English jettons; this is located at the centre of the reverse flan, that is, it does not equate with the centre of the reverse design. | Publisher: | http://finds.org.uk | Source: | Portable Antiquities | Identifier: | https://finds.org.uk/database/artefacts/ | Go to resource |
