Hey Guys,

I'm asking about the ½ Penny of George VI , I found the following https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces870.html
the coin in the link is made of Bronze;however, the one I have is made of Copper Nickle

so is this a different version of the same coin ? or is it rare? fake?  :D

I think it is bronze, but plated with a silver metal,nickel.
It is, what it is, or is it.

​I would tend to agree with Daryl, it is probably a Bronze coin that has then been privately plated.
