Between March 1684 and January 1692, 344 tons of tin money had been issued, amounting to £65,929 15s. 9d, which is very near 21d. per pound weight. Tin being at that time £65 per ton (or nearly 7d. per pound). The dies were engraved by George Bowers, until his death, February, 1690, and afterwards by Henry Harris and James Roettier."

A post medieval tin halfpenny of James II dating between AD1685-1687. The obverse depicts a laureate and cuirassed bust of the king in profile facign right. The inscription reads "IACOBVS.SECVNDVS". The reverse depicts a seated Britannia and the inscription reads "BRITANNIA".
The coin has a central square perforation that would have been filled with a copper alloy plug, which is missing. http://www.coins-of-the-uk.co.uk/farth.html: "In 1684 the farthing was issued in tin with a copper plug in the centre.[...] These are scarce coins in as good condition as that illustrated because of tin disease. This is caused by the fact that below 13.2°C the metallic form or allotrope of tin tends to turn into the non-metallic form which appears as a grey powder. Also, tin is soft and wears readily. Tin was chosen to bolster the tin mining industry, and the bimetallic form was intended to discourage forgery (but failed in its purpose)."
