Description:		An English ’sterling bust’ jeton of the 14th century. The bust and crown are crude and differ from those used on contemporary pennies. The central indentation (or piercing) is a characteristic of English jetons of this period. It is believed to have been done to prevent them from being silvered and passed off as coins.

Description:		An English ’sterling bust’ jeton dating to the late 13th or early 14th century. Although the obverse depicts the mitred bust of a bishop, rather than the crowned bust of a king, jetons of this type nevertheless fall within the 'sterling bust' category. They were very likely made for use in ecclesiastical establishments. The central indentation is a characteristic of English jetons of this period. It is believed to have been done to prevent them from being silvered and passed off as coins.

Description:		An English ’sterling bust’ jeton dating to the early 14th century. The crown is closely similar to that used on Edward II pennies of class 11 (c.1310-c.1314) and is possibly from an official coinage punch of that class. The central piercing is a characteristic of English jetons of this period. It is believed to have been done to prevent them from being silvered and passed off as coins.

Description:		An English ’sterling bust’ jeton dating to the 14th century. The bust on the jeton is from a die that was made using the same official punches used to make dies for striking Edward II (and early Edward III) pennies of class 15. The jeton is therefore an official product of the king's mint, probably struck for the Royal Treasury. The central indentation/piercing is a characteristic of English jetons of this period. It is believed to have been done to prevent them being silvered and passed off as coins.
