Half Penny 1944, "wrong metal" [solved]

4 posts
Weights 5.88 gr (instead of 5.58)
Slightly magnetic
Slightly tooled in 4 points.

Is it a coin from a special production or a regular coin that was coated by a jeweler?





Looks like it's just been played for aesthetic reasons.
they were plated for use in a penny pusher machines in a fair

I have a lot of such (UK) coins

​Thank you PetrusAscanus, I was wondering why they coated with magnetic metal and not with silver
