Post Medieval jetton: Rose and orb jetton, appear to be most popular jettons of Hans Schultes I and Hans Krauwinckel II and probably date from 1490 and continues to 1585 (Mitchiner, 1988). This type of jetton are also seen into the 17th century, for example of Wolf Lauffer II which date to 1612 and 1651. Obverse: Illegible legend. Three Crowns, alternately with three lis, arranged centrifrugally around a central rose. Reverse: Illegible legend. Imperial orb surmounted by a cross patty, within a tressure with three main arches.
