Metal composition for this ‘Toonie’ as it is known in Canada, is standard,  except for the black nickel outer ring. Presumably the ‘gold’ centre is nickel- brass. The black represents a black arm band for QEII. Not sure it’s supposed to be ‘sexy’!🤔
Toonies ($2 coins)  replaced the $2 Bank notes in 1996….

Just found out that centre (gold) Is actually aluminium bronze - 92% copper, 6% aluminium, 2% nickel!

Ha, I’m sure the Queen would have been fine with “sexy”... 

I’m surprised the RM didn't jump all over the black arm band look on our £2 coins. (Could have been a right winner for them) 

Thanks for the info on it.
