Description: | Post medieval tin halfpenny of James II (1685-88). The obverse, reverse and date are illegible; 1685-1687.The edges are very rough with old breaks, showing the layered, flaky nature of the metals structure. There is a square 3mm squared indentation in the centre either side of the disc holding the copper plug. These coins are usually found in very poor condition due to tins tendancy to corrode, accelerated by it's reaction with the copper plug.
