JETTON 556388

Description: A Post Medieval (1500-70) rather worn copper alloy 'Lion of St Mark' Nuremberg jetton. It is probably an annonymous issue, although both legends are too worn to read. The obverse shows a nimbate lion of St Mark facing left and holding a book, with his halo within the inner circle. The reverse shows a normal orb with a cross patty on top, in a three arched tressure. Cf. Mitchiner pp.360-1, section 3.

Date: 1500 - 1570
