The 500 yen coin is made of a combination of metals. The first generation was made of cupronickel, specifically 75% copper and 25% nickel. However, the composition has changed over time. The current version, introduced in 2021, is made of a bicolor clad material consisting of copper, zinc, and nickel in different proportions, with a center CORE of nickel-brass and outer layers of copper-based alloy, giving it a dual-color appearance.
