    just out of curiosity, do you know the percentage breakdown?

    Do you mean alloy percentages? Don't think that is listed anywhere that I have ever seen.

    75% copper, 25% nickel is pretty standard, but I don't know for this one.

    Don't know anything about this series, but I sure like those fish! In fact, I like them so much I bought a couple of cheap examples from ebay BIN. Absolutely lovely design.

    Thanks for the pix.

    Yep, that's the standard alloy for "cupronickel" or "copper-nickel" used in coins world-wide. Add more copper and it starts to look, well, coppery (like the earliest US small cents). Add more nickel and the alloy gets too tough to strike coins with.
