Thank you Sir Nighthawk. Sir Templar: The metal in the centre is copper nicker and the ring around is of brass. Several countries are issuing bimetal coins. In India, Rs.10 coin was issued in 2005. I have 2006, 07 coins are for trade. Sir Humpybong: Thank you. I tried is South Africa itself and failed. A friend in U.S.A., bought them, for me.

My favorite of ALL time was struck in Australia and is not bi-metallic! It is tri-metallic and an absolutely stunning coin. It is very large and struck with a GOLD center, SILVER middle and a COPPER ring adores the outer edge. Oh how I love that commemorative!
