Scottish, Irish and Anglo-Gallic Coins from Various Properties

Anglo-Gallic, temp. Henry VI, brass jeton, c. 1430, radiant star, maria mater gracie, rev. cross botonnée, lis in angles, maria mater gracie, 5.49g/9h (Barnard –; Mitchiner 519). Nearly very fine but slightly double-struck, rare £100-£120

The radiate star presumably alludes to the Virgin Mary's title 'Stella Maris' - star of the sea - although Mitchiner interprets it as a catherine wheel
