Not a simple question to precisely and fully answer in detail, however copper coinage I suppose was first really introduced with the Harington Farthings under the reign of James I, although you could argue whether these were "official" coinage. Prior to that you could consider Jetons which were considered likely to have circulated, but again not in an official capacity. 

 

Considering the period you are stating in isolation, then no there was not.

Looks very likely I found a jetton in this case, who/what is on it I will have to do a bit of research

Thanks

Most of the English jettons of this period (or perhaps somewhat later) had a central punch mark or perforation, but could look very similar to Edwardian silver pennies. Post a pic, as suggested.
