Just environmental toning of some sort.
Different toning depends on the environment it has been exposed to.

Modern clad coins can tone in many colors, ranging from golden / yellow to blue and everything in between. All depends on what air and solids they're exposed to.

Yep, funny, how CuNi clad coin can change colors depending on how they are stored or used.
I actually appreciate the golden brown toning some seem to get over time.
