So i work in a supermarket and i came across this golden looking 2 pence piece. I have some pictures of the coin in comparison with a normal copper 2 pence piece, i am new to this website and would appreciate if someone could give me some information on this coin as a quick google search turned up nothing more than this link:

the composition of both years of mintage for those should be copper plated steel. I would suggest you check the 'golden' one and see if a magnet will stick to it. if it won't stick, it's possible you have one like is listed on the link you posted. otherwise, I would just assume it to be fresh from a roll and uncirculated
