philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 10/28/2014 3:22 pm English jeton of the second half of the 14th century. Obverse is the "standing king under canopy" style, with REX left and GRA right. The reverse features a cross fleury with an eagle in each angle. The legend begins AMOR VINCIT OMNI ("Love conquers all"). The remaining letters are nebulous. This jeton has the identical reverse, and the Portable Antiquities Scheme folks also had trouble with the end of the legend: http://finds.org.uk/database/artefa...rd/id/451480 Report this Post to the Staff
Petrus Pillar of the Community Belgium 2895 Posts	Posted 10/28/2014 4:06 pm The correct text should be : AMOR VINCIT OMNIA The remainder of the legend seems to be NIChL SED (Nicholas?)

philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 10/28/2014 5:16 pm I agree with Petrus' reading of the remaining 8 letters. Just a thought: Nicholas of Bury St. Edmunds? Report this Post to the Staff
