Copper alloy brooch or mount produced by attaching a backplate to a medieval jetton through means of a central rivet. Each pointed end of the flattened bronze strip has been bent around to form a loop; it seems likely that one these (bent back between strip and jetton) formed the loop for the pin and the other functioned as a catchplate although this fitting does not look particularly brooch-like and the sharply pointed ends may have themselves fastened the jetton instead to a cloth leather backing. The jetton itself has been mounted so that the reverse cross design is facing out…

Copper alloy brooch or mount made from an English Medieval jetton. A flattened bar of copper alloy has been rivetted centrally to the obverse of the jetton, so that the cross device on the reverse was displayed to the viewer.

The obverse is similar to that specimen except that on this example the Arms are not those of England but appear to represent pseudo-Heraldry, viz. three chevrons, a …
