2013 T410 Forrabury and Minster, Cornwall
I have examined an object reported found at Forrabury and Minster, Cornwall.
The object is a piedfort or piéfort striking of the coin-type now sometimes known as the gros blanc au chattel fleurdelisé, an issue of King John II of France (1350-64), authorised on 27 March 1360.

An unidentified token or coin, cast in an unidentified white-metal, and probably dating from the Medieval to post-Medieval periods.
The central image on one side is of uncertain nature, consisting on an irregular pattern of curved lines which radiate outwards from a central point. The legend around the perimeter reads '+AMOR PATRIS' (love of one's father). The central design on the opposite side resembles a stylised fleur-de-lis, over which is a rectangular arrangement of four pellets. The legend on this side appears to consist of a series of capital letter 'T's, each at 180 degrees…

Object type: TOKEN
Broad period: POST MEDIEVAL
County: Northamptonshire
Workflow stage: Awaiting validation
A probable copper-alloy token of post-medieval to early modern date. Whilst the object resembles an Anglo-Saxon sceat, Dr John Naylor (PAS National Adviser on Early Medieval and Medieval Coinage) has confirmed that it is not one, suggesting that 'its rough workmanship and appearance are more akin to the kinds of tokens/tallies/jetons that you find from Tudor England into the 17th/18th centuries and the cross and pellet reverse is one of the types of designs that were used' (John Naylor pers. comm.). The token measures 11.59 mm in diameter, 2.1 mm thick and weighs 1.1 grams.
