Workflow
status: Awaiting validation 
An incomplete post-medieval copper-alloy rose/orb Nuremberg jetton possibly by Hans Schults dating to the period AD 1500-1600. The jetton has been bent slightly, and there is a tear at approximately 12 o'clock. The obverse is also mostly indiscernible, though the faint outline of the three crowns, alternately with three lis, arranged centrifugally around a central rose can be seen. On the reverse, there is an imperial orb surmounted by a cross patty, within a tressure with three main arches.
