I've been tasked with trying to identify what appears to be a nickle (cupranickle?) 2 pence from 1989.
It has come about from my brother getting it in change a while back and recently looking into it finding only a small article from a tabloid about being rare, but I don't take those things all too seriously.
From what I've seen looking at it, it's not plated and looks to be a real 2 pence apart from the colour
These don't fully show the colour greatly as they are taken from my mobile.
What I'm wanting help with is finding out how I would go about confirming if the coin is a misprint as suspected, or what steps I would take to value it if it turns out to be what it appears to be.

Thank you for any help.
