That's exactly what it looks like. I looked around a bit and found out these coins are not "plated" but "clad" and somehow when the sheet was clad in nickel before they were cut into round blanks the coating on one side didn't stick like it should have and their detection processes were unable to detect the error. Did I get this right? or is it something else that happened? Does someone know it they (the 2012 toonies) still get plated or clad? Then I would know for sure. All your help is very much appreciated!
