The coin isn't the one I bought- I hate it when people lie- Anyway- This is a aluminum, attempting to finding the correct coin wasn't easy- but the KM system helped because of the weight. The weight of the coin is 2.2 grams, and is 27 mm in diameter.
Wartime Europe was a difficult time to make currency, especially while being 'occupied', hence the lightness of the coin. Minerals, especially ones like aluminum demonstrated the need to cut back. The coin is worn, obviously- but still a great piece of history.
