No, it's made of a gold-colored brass alloy.

If you think about it for, oh, a second or two, as of 2011 the price of gold is around €1000 a troy ounce. 20 e-cents is 1/5 of one euro, so if the coin were made of gold it would be 1/5,000 of an ounce - that's 0.006 grams and you'd need a microscope to see it!

No, it's made of a gold-colored brass alloy.

If you think about it for maybe a second or two, as of 2014 one troy ounce of gold costs about €850. That means €0.50 would be 1/1700 of an ounce of pure gold, which is so tiny you'd need tweezers to pick it up.
