1923 Germany - German notgeld - Prussian Province of westphalia (West falen) - 5 Million Marks

Looking at this coin I wonder if this was the 'gold plated' version and through circulation the gold was worn off of the high spots.. .

I don't see a gold-plated 5 Million Mark on Numista - only 10,000 and 50 Million. What does the edge look like?
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

ok, the edge shows no sign of the gold coloring on it. I'm assuming just like the 1943 steel cents that are zinc plated, but not on the edge.
