Hi guys!

Could be an absolute noob question but I wonder what material this coin is made of. Is it a copper-nickel or could it be even silver? And could this be a proof or bu variant that is worn?

Thanks in advance!

does not look like a proof to me-doesn't have those mirror-like surfaces in the fields
they're cupro-nickel as far as the composition goes

Hello and
This is the normal cupro-nickel circulating version. The Royal Mint did issue a sterling silver version in 2012 as part of the Diamond Jubilee Proof Set, but the proofs are deep cameos with frosted details and mirrored fields and also look very white in color.
