The 2nd, is, the coin is listed under copper, but not "pure". That's my take anyway.


OK, I might have to clarify this.

Oz asked..

I took this to mean is it bi-metallic or copper-nickel etc.
Numista lists it a one word metal (which is primarily made of copper).

a single metal element


that means NOT an alloy

single element as on the periodic table

As listed on the Numista drop down menu for composition

gold
silver
copper
zinc
aluminium
tin
platinum
palladium
nickel
iron

Therefore this coin should be listed under copper

Sorry Oz, I was going to give you another chance,
but Keith has picked the other option.

Now, drum roll, who is the unlucky winner.

Well done Keith, you win.
