Thank you, Errers. The coin is really not that dark. It's very reflective stainless steel, and quite difficult to photograph.

Nice example, Hondo. Are stainless steel coins less common than other metals?

Stainless steal is not uncommon but not too prevalent - it's more expensive than other options. However, the coins are much more durable and resistant to corrosion than CuNi. Italy also uses acmonital, which is stainless steel with magnesium and other metals added. It also is quite reflective. I have quite a few such coins, but the photos come out so ugly that I don't post them.
