Medieval Nurenburg Jetton?

The word "jeton" is merely French for "token". The objects we coin collectors normally call "jetons" (normally spelled with just one "t") were made for use on counting-boards, a chessboard-like object which was used like an abacus to do mathematical calculations back when everybody still wrote and thought in Roman numerals. They also helped in calculating and converting money between the various pre-decimal currency units and subdivisions that were common in mediaeval Europe. The German city of Nuremberg was well-known as being the centre of manufacture of jetons during the late Mediaeval and early Modern period.

Jetons were later sold and used as card-game counters, in effect as early gambling chips. The folks in Nurmeberg didn't care what you used their jetons for, so long as you bought lots of them.

I would agree with your identification; this jeton has the Imperial Orb on one side (top pic), and the circle-of-crowns-and-fleur-de-lys design on the other. Unlike a silver coin, there was no logical reason why a jeton should be cut in half; I can't say I've ever seen one cut in half before.

Thank you for the information! The website looks really helpful. I like the legends on there.
