According the UCoin, the 2001 10 francs from the Comoros is made of nickel-plated steel whilst the 2017 version is made from stainless steel. If this can be confirmed, shouldn't we split them? We split the 50 and 100 franc coins with similar differences in composition.

Krause (Numismaster) says they both are “steel” which is no help.  How would you confirm composition easily?  Both are magnetic. Both are same density.  Both are same weight. If I had 2 of each I would cut one in half and look inside.

We list them as struck in Paris, so I wonder if anyone has access to records from that mint?

So I guess it is not needed unless proved somehow.

Agreed. The metals used for all the recent Comoran coins look a bit suspect to me but we need evidence before we can change anything.
