| 正面描述 | Draped bust of King James II facing right, rendered in high relief with elaborate drapery at the shoulder. The effigy is encircled by a Latin legend reading IACOBVS SECVNDVS, disposed around the periphery of the field. The portrait displays the characteristic late Stuart style with flowing hair and a prominent profile. A square copper plug is visible at the centre of the tin field, characteristic of the bimetallic construction employed for this issue. |

James II inherited a farthing coinage already mired in controversy. Tin farthings had been introduced under Charles II in 1684 partly to boost the struggling Cornish tin industry — a deliberate act of royal economic patronage — and James continued the practice despite persistent counterfeiting problems inherent to the metal. The copper plug at center was itself an anti-counterfeiting measure, as pure tin flans proved trivially easy to fake.
James was deposed in the Glorious Revolution of 1688, cutting this tin farthing series short. The post-Revolution settlement under William and Mary eventually abandoned tin coinage altogether, reverting to copper by 1694.
