JETTON

Unique ID: KENT-DBA345

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

A copper alloy, Jetton of uncertain type, probably of the late Medieval period, dating from c. AD 1300 - 1500.

The obverse of the jetton is indecipherable due to corrosion and the legend is seemingly nonsensical 'SVIDEOEPVENV[--]A'. The reverse has a cross potent initial mark and is inscribed '+VEUYOTVGO'. The reverse depicts a cross fleuretty, with an 'A' between each.
