Hello All!

Out off curiosity I am wondering what this gold toning look is called? I've not seen this more often on coins so it looks rather strange to me. There is aswell some doubling alround the head but you can't see it good on the picture.

Is this normal for this issue? Because on the internet like ebay these coins don't have the gold lustre as mine? Or is it just some fanatic dude who wanted to make it extra special? Like alot ot 2 reichsmark 1939 got goldplated

Thank you! Interesting! I have to say it gives something extra to the coin. And looks more nice then the others in my opinion this way.
