Title
Lead jetton: obverse with swastika
Description
English: Cast lead jetton or similar. The obverse shows a swastika. The reverse has what appear to be a Runic inscription - Kite symbol IXI IX above T.II.III. It is quite possible that this piece was manufactured by 'Billy and Charley' in London in the 19th century AD. 'Billy and Charlies' were produced to deceive people, the objects purporting to be earlier medieval or ancient items. This piece was found with FASAM-4B8C77 and is almost certainly from the same source with matches between the inscriptions.
