Received this in our office today, it stuck out immediately. Absolute mirror fields, jet black when viewed from directly above and sharp rims. Can't work out if it is a proof , from a set or a prooflike early strike. They struck all three types that year.
Interesting. Never thought about how the two different metals are joined until now. Pre-manufactured blanks I suspect.
Occasionally you will see a bi-metal 1 or 2 euro coin where the insert is loose, a sharp rap with a knuckle and it falls out
