It is struck on a iron-nickel planchet - almost all of these were struck in 2004, most commonly on 5c and 25c coins. These planchets range in weight from 1.2 to 1.8 grams and are very prone to corrosion and rusting, which you can see has happened on that ebay example, and others I have seen in a friend's collection. These are not known planchets from any country that the RCM was striking coins for in the early 2000s, and are probably the result of either experimentation or mint shenanigans...
I do have one, in pristine condition, and if I was to sell it, I would price it considerably more than the one in that ebay listing.

That one on ebay is basically listed at a retail price... the only way you'll know what the seller wants, is to make an offer (and see if there is a counter-offer).
