JETTON

Unique ID: BERK-B58B17

Object type certainty: Certain
Workflow status: Awaiting validation

A complete but worn and dished copper alloy medieval Flemish jetton, crown type, dating to the 15th century. Obverse inscription appears to read PIERAR DVRAR ENNELIER, which is not listed in Mitchiner (1998:216) in this exact form; the moneyer Pierar Durar may have come from Leiden in what is now the Netherlands (ibid.) and this last word may allude to that, however another jetton in Mitchiner (ibid no. 623), reads DE PIERAR ANELIER and is attributed to the moneyer Pierar Anelier. It is possible that the jetton recorded herein displays an amalgamation of the two issuers' names.
