Copper alloy English jetton with geometrical tracery on the obverse similar to that on the window of the vestry at Merton College, Oxford, which dates from c.1310. The pictorial obverse is contemporary with sterling bust jettons dating from c.1280-1343 like Mitchiner p.116, no.243, but the closest reference is the 'Anglo-Gallic' jetton (now known to be English) recorded in Barnard (1981) on page 101, pl.II, fig.35, no.35, which is not dated and where the obverse is not illustrated but appears similar from the description. Mernick reference 4f.3.6

Copper-alloy Flemish jetton, minted in Tournai, probably copying jettons of Louis II de Male (1346-1384), Count of Flanders. This combination of obverse and reverse on a jetton seem only to be found in England which suggests that they were used by Flemish merchants while negotiating to buy English wool and they remained here because there might have been a Flemish merchant colony in England similar to the Hanseatic merchants (Peter Mernick pers comm).

Copper alloy French stock jetton, struck in Tournai c.1415-1497, by Puerar Durar, who may have come from the town of Leiden as his inscriptions are in Flemish, but only the name survives on the obverse as half of the jetton is missing. Probably minted after 1423 when Charles VII (1422-1461) introduced the silver Blanc à la coronelle (coin). Mitchener 622.

Copper alloy French shield jetton, struck in Tournai c.1417-1497, after 1423 when Charles VII (1422-1461) introduced the silver Blanc à la coronelle (coin), and late in the 15th century as it is a thick 'piefort' or piedfort, which means heavy foot, jetton. The introduction of the thick piefort jettons during the 15th century appears to have resulted from the popularisation of a new method for performing the calculations for manual accountancy. A collection of stationary jettons which were heavier like this example were issued as reference points for the lighter mobile jettons in ord…

Copper alloy jetton, Shield of France modern type with three fleurs de lis within a spade-shaped shield on the obverse, struck at the Paris mint between 1418 and 1437 during the reigns of Charles VI (1380-1422) and Charles VII (1422-1461) of France.
The obverse looks more like Mitchiner 457, produced during the reign of Charles VI, with leafy ornaments above and beside the shield, but the reverse is like Mitchiner 531a, produced during the reign of Charles VII, with the tressure of arches alternating with triangles which have a rosette on either side.

Copper alloy ship penny jetton, anonymous issue, c.1490-1550. The obverse design of the Nuremberg 'ship penny' jettons came from 15th-century local issues struck for the Municipality of Paris. The reverse came from other French prototypes issued during the period c.1461-1497. Nuremberg mint. Mitchiner 1169.
The jetton has since been bored with a nail within one edge, perhaps perforated for suspension, during the Post-medieval period, as has another ship penny jetton illustrated in Mitchiner (1988) on page 375, No.1186.

Copper alloy French jetton with four lis in a lozenge within a tressure of four arches, struck mainly in Paris during the reign of Charles VIII (1483-1497). During this period the 'four fleurs de lis in a lozenge' became the principal royal design on jettons and is the only late 15th century official jetton design documented in the records of the Paris mint from 1488 (Mitchiner, 1988, pp.206-209, No.596).

Copper alloy feudal jetton struck for the Bishopric of Therouanne in the Pas de Calais, France, with a crozier over a spade shield bearing the charge of the Three Mitres, on the obverse and a triple-stranded cross fleuretty with a central quatrefoil on the reverse. There is a torn hole from one edge, which looks like damage rather than a deliberate perforation, dating from the mid-15th century, Mitchiner 716.
This ephemeral series appears to have been issued during the politically confused period when France and England were contesting control over the region (Mitchiner, 1988, 235).

Copper alloy French jetton or reckoning counter, depicting the shield of France on the obverse, which dates it to c.1415-1437, struck in Tournai, probably after 1423 when King Charles VII of France (1422-1461) introduced the silver Blanc à la coronelle (coin).
Mitchener (1988) illustrates a similar example on page 227, No.688.
Jettons first appeared in England during the reign of Edward I (1271-1307) and carried on to the end of the reign of Richard II (1377-1399). By that time, jettons began to come in to England from the Continent, initially from Tournai, now in Belgium, and t…

Copper alloy French jetton, struck in Tournai c.1417-1497, probably after 1423 when Charles VII (1422-1461) introduced the silver Blanc à la coronelle (coin). The reverse compares well to Mitchener 626 and the obverse is similar but too worn and corroded to be sure.
