my gut reaction is jeton 13th to 15th century .... will have to do some more research to confirm this.

That's a lovely condition find. I agree with Alan circa 14thC Jeton, the cross does give it a French look but I must admit I have never seen the other sides design before. So over to someone with a book.

Nice find. The design is the stylized 'Castle of Tours', like on these jetons:

But the cross side isn't right for these. I'm still uncertain whether this is a jeton or a coin.

Just found a very similar one. I think confirms it as a jeton:

i am very pleased with the find, not every day you find something like that
it was well worth going on the rally to west hanney.
