A bent and corroded post medieval pewter Elizabethan token, 'Lyon' counter series dating to c. 1574 to 1600 AD. The obverse contains the legend "HONI SOIT MAL Y PENSE" (cf. Mitchiner 4584ff.). The token has been folded over between 6 and 11 o'clock (on the obverse) so that it lies flat against the obverse; this fold hides most of the legend and the lion. The reverse side of the folded part is covered in thick corrosion which obscures the design. It now measures 20.7mm (length/ original diameter) x 15.1mm (width) x 1.4mm (thickness) and weighs 2.11g.

It measures 19.9mm (diameter) x 1.5mm (thickness) and weighs 2.77g. North (1975, 140) notes that such pieces were probably medalets rather than tokens as some appear to relate to Mary, Queen of Scots. Although North dates the tokens to c.1574AD (ibid.), Mitchiner has revised the dates of the 'GOD SAVE' reverse to c. 1590-1603AD (1988, 165…

A post medieval copper-alloy 'English style' Nuremburg jetton of George II struck by Iohann Weidinger or Iohann Friedrich Weidinger. The obverse depicts George II, who was crowned in 1727. However the reverse contains the name of Iohann, rather than his son Iohann Friedrich, Weidinger, who died in December 1727 (cf Mitchiner 1988 pp 519-521, ref. 1848ff. & 1854). This jetton was either struck in the short period between the death of George I and Iohann Weidinger, or the reverse is from a die re-used by Iohann Friedrich.
