Broad period: UNKNOWN
County: Cambridgeshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A copper-alloy Jetton of Medieval or Post-Medieval date. Obverse shows an unclear shield. Obverse legend is mostly illegible but is probably fictitious: [...]E[...]V[...]. A rose with central pellet sits within the legend at the left hand corner of the shield. The reverse shows an unclear tressure, probably containing an imperial orb surmounted by a cross.

Alternatively the tressure may possibly contain an uncle…
