Medieval gold coin called “mutton”?

4 posts
Hello,
While I was looking up a Middle English dictionary I stumbled across the word motoun, from which the modern mutton derives, but it had more definitions than just sheep. Apparently, there was an Anglo-French gold coin with a sheep on one side that was called a mutton, but I have never seen and can’t seem to find such coinage. Does anyone have an idea as to what it might have referred to?

Oops, sorry for the late reply...and thank you! So it’s supposed to be the Agnus Dei, that makes so much sense.
