Description: | A copper alloy Medieval jetton: possibly a French or English 'standing king under canopy' jetton (the English examples are inspired by the French 'king under canopy' issue) with a central circular depression on the reverse and dating form AD 1350 - 1400. The 'standing king under canopy' issue dates to the second half of the 14th century (Mitchiner, 1998: 122). The jetton is similar to Mitchiner No. 271, but the motifs in the angles of the reverse cross fleuretty do not appears to be crowned lis, but perhaps spread eagles insetad. SUR-DDE764 has the same sort of blundered reverse legend. The jetton has a green patina, and is corroded. It is 21.4mm diameter, 1.6mm thick and 3.43g.Mitchiner, M., 1988.
