A complete tin farthing of Charles II (AD 1660-1685), dating to AD 1684-1685. The tin farthing is complete although the copper alloy plug is mostly missing from the centre. The coin is in quite good condition however the inscription around the edge of the coin is largely unreadable. Tin farthings were first issued in 1684 to help boost the tin industry, with the copper alloy plug intending to discourage forgery but it failed in its purpose (http://www.coins-of-the-uk.co.uk/farth.html). Charles II died in February 1685 so coins of this date are quite rare. Spink (2011) No. 3395.

A tin coin with a central copper core. There are only a very few details on this coin and because of its metal content its either a William & Mary Tin halfpenny 1689-1690 or a James II halfpenny 1685 to 1687, a very faintly discernable 'II' can be made out if the coin is held at an angle in Natural daylight and this would more likely make it a James II
