A Post Medieval copper alloy rose/orb jetton dating AD 1500-1550. This type of jetton is from the anonymous period and made in Nuremberg. The jetton has a lot of wear and black discolouration across the surface, making the inscription difficult to discern. Mitchnier provides several examples of this type (1988, nos. 1233-1236).
Dimensions: diameter: 23.51 mm; weight: 1.45g.
