Comoros: 100 francs 2013, catalog problems!

Hi,

https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces10560.html states the 2013 weighing 10 grams is magnetic (nickel plated steel)!

https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces57162.html states the 2013 weighing 8 grams is NOT magnetic (copper nickel)!

I have a 2013 weighing 8.03 grams, thus it is supposed to be the second coin, km18a, but surprise, surprise, it is MAGNETIC (steel), so it's either a km18b (doesn't exist yet!), or the Numista catalog is NOT correct



I have sent the data and images to KM already, so in some months time we might find it in Numismaster!

According to this they're stainless steel and consequently a new type:

The 25 and 50 franc pieces from the same issue are already listed as new types:

My 100 francs 2013 is magnetic and just over 8 g as well.

The 25 and 50 franc pieces from 2013 are also magnetic.

Only the 250 francs bimetallic from 2013 is actually in the SCWC - the KM numbers listed for the 25 and 50, while plausible, don't reflect reality.
