Bust/triple-stranded cross fleurdelisee with lis in each angle design.It measures 19.04mm in diameter, 0.93mm in thickness and weighs 1.58gThe reverse design is known with the 'pellety crown' sterling bust obverse as published by Mitchiner (1988, 106; no. 164), associated by Lawrence, quoted therein, with Class 15 Edwardian busts, that is, from 1319. However, the obverse bust of this jetton can be classified as Edwardian Class 13, of 1314-1318 according to current dating, with its distinctive 'battle axe' central fleur. Accordingly, this jetton has been dated between c. 1314 and the end of Edward II's reign.
