No, it's made of gold-coloured metal called "aureate nickel".

The price of gold has been between $1000 and $1900 an ounce for a long time, so if you think about it for a couple of seconds, it would make absolutely no sense for H. M. government to mint millions of coin each worth hundreds of dollars and put them into circulation at a buck each.
