I have a couple of Drachma coins in my collection, one of which is a 2 Drachma coin from 1978. I was searching the net to be 100% sure of identification and the only 2-drachma coins I can find reference of are silver, but mine is not silver. I'm not sure of the materials that make it up, but it is the same colour as a new English pound coin. Is there any reason for this or have I been searching incorrectly?
