Post Medieval jetton: probably a rose and orb jetton, which are the most popular jettons of Hans Schultes I and Hans Krauwinckel II and probably date from 1490 and continues to 1585 (Mitchiner, 1988). The jetton has been folded, possibly folded around an object originally as the void is a sub-rectangle. The obverse is on the interior of the jetton and therefore not visible. Reverse: Illegible legend. Imperial orb surmounted by a cross patty, within a tressure with three main arches.
