A copper-alloy 'Ship penny' jetton produced by Hans Schultes III in Nuremberg between 1608 and 1612. Mitchiner (1988) refers to his ship penny jettons on p.411, no.1, but does not illustrate an example and refers to Barnard (1981) who illustrates a very similar jetton on p.210, pl.XXIX, no.13, which according to Mitchiner is attributed to Hans Schultes III.

Copper alloy English jetton with geometrical tracery on the obverse similar to that on the window of the vestry at Merton College, Oxford, which dates from c.1310. The pictorial obverse is contemporary with sterling bust jettons dating from c.1280-1343 like Mitchiner p.116, no.243, but the closest reference is the 'Anglo-Gallic' jetton (now known to be English) recorded in Barnard (1981) on page 101, pl.II, fig.35, no.35, which is not dated and where the obverse is not illustrated but appears similar from the description.

Copper alloy rose and orb type jetton of Hans Krauwinckel II (Master 1586, died March 1635). It appears to be of the rose and orb type with the orb in tressure design on the obverse and three crowns alternating with three fleurs de lis on the reverse. The inscriptions are very worn but the end of the reverse legend: *HANNS [KRAVWIN]CKEL IN NV (which is normally the obverse legend) is NV, suggesting that the obverse legend is probably GOTES SEGEN MACHT REIC.

Copper-alloy Flemish jetton, minted in Tournai, probably copying jettons of Louis II de Male (1346-1384), Count of Flanders. This combination of obverse and reverse on a jetton seem only to be found in England which suggests that they were used by Flemish merchants while negotiating to buy English wool and they remained here because there might have been a Flemish merchant colony in England similar to the Hanseatic merchants (Peter Mernick pers comm). Obverse: Rampant lion with incurved tail within a circle surrounded by the inscription +OMNIA.DAT.DOMINVS Reverse: double-strande…

Copper alloy Nuremberg stock 'Lion of St Mark' jetton. The lion is nimbate and entirely within the inner circle, including the halo, and there is a rosette between the lion's feet, on the obverse. On the reverse, the imperial orb surmounted by a cross on the reverse has no pellets, annulets or elements outside the tressure. The inscriptions are fictitious, and illegible on the obverse but the reverse reads: +[MEL] BODVL BODV [...] which matches well with anonymous Nuremberg stock jettons illustrated in Mitchener (1988) on page 361, nos.1103-1104, which date from c.1500-1570.

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…
