Nope, six and a quarter grams of [Dominican] copper-nickel.

I've always been puzzled by the Dominican practice of incorporating the weight on all their coins, whether precious metal or not. I assume it was some sort of legislative requirement, dating from the time when coins such as this one actually would have been struck in silver, that wasn't repealed until 1983.
