Thanks for the reply--looks like Downies had at least 4 different collections of 8 medallions each, besides selling the latest silver coins I was asking about, that you linked to. Looks like the Downies medallion collections are silver plated for the first three collections and gold plated for the 4th collection.

Anyway this confirms that the medallions unlike the Niue coins are silver plated. Although they may all be produced at the same mint:
"The Birds of Australia Commemorative Collection is inspired by the historic illustrations from the father of Australian ornithology John Gould's ground-breaking work The Birds of Australia. Each pure silver-plated, 40mm commemorative features a precisely detailed strike, enhanced with a full-colour image, bringing each unique bird to life."
