James II. 1685-1688. Tin farthing. 5.3 gm. 22 mm. 1687. His draped bust right; IACOBVS SECVNDVS around / Britannia seated left; BRITANNIA around. Edge: NVMMORVM [★] FAMVLMVS ★ 1687 [★]. S. 3421. Peck 557 (ER). Very Fine; dark tone; the coin has been lacquered, something seen on 19th century coins and tokens; the edge lettering is mostly legible though two of the stars in the legend are not at all visible; all in all, this is a desirable example of a very rare type.
