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 anonymous Nuremberg stock 'Lion of St Mark' jetton (c.1500-1570). The lion is nimbate but the halo breaks the inner circle and there appears to be two rosettes, one in front of each claw, on the obverse. The imperial orb surmounted by a cross on the reverse has two pairs of annulets outside each of the upper two arches in the tressure. The initial mark is a rosette on the obverse and a crown on the reverse. Mitchiner 1120. The inscriptions are fictitious, but the obverse reads: HIOHRTONVHTORNVHI, and the reverse is more worn.

Copper alloy counter of a spade half-guinea of George III, but produced many years after the half-guinea became obsolete, even though it is dated to 1788 on the reverse, this is an arbitrary date. There was a revival later in the 19th century, during Victoria's reign, because the counters could not be confused with the coins that were legal tender at the time. The imitation is quite crude and the counter is worn and corroded so that it is difficult to read the reverse legend, but it appears to be the common legend: IN MEMORY OF THE GOOD OLD DAYS, rather than the name and address of a …

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).

The lion is nimbate and entirely within the inner circle, including the halo, on the obverse, and the imperial orb surmounted by a cross on the reverse has no pellets, annulets or elements outside the tressure. The initial mark is a crown and the inscriptions are mostly too worn to make out, and would have been fictitious, but the obverse looks like it starts MVNA[...]MVNAOB[...] and the reverse BEOD[...] whitch matches well with an anonymous Nuremberg stock jetton illustrated in Mitchener (1988) on page 360, No.1098, which dates …

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 'Venus penny' stock jetton of the Low Countries, c.1490s-1550s, Mitchiner 844. The 'Venus pennies' were a popular series of jettons, or reckoning counters, that were made for the merchants of Antwerp during a period when this city was the flourishing principal commerical centre of the land, and were circulated amongst the merchant classes during the first half of the sixteenth century. The circulation in London, from finds along the Thames foreshore, is restricted to the general period from the 1480s to the 1550s. But the design of the figure of Venus is modell…
