I’m not sure. It feels like nickel or steel, actually.

Plated for jewelry (obviously after it was holed). We had quite a few such such coins here on Numista. I have an Elizabeth II South African penny that is just as yellow and shiny. Here's
a video of how you can do it yourself .

My apologies that the photo looks yellow. It is, in fact, a bright silver color.

Now that I think about it, I actually have a 1953 copper coronation medal that was likewise plated to look shiny white.

Most of the time they have been plated in silver, platinum, or palladium.

Would this be an appropriate place to ask how to classify it, then? Would it now be considered a token or something else?
