Matte or Special Uncirculated?

Is the above coin Matte or Special Uncirculated?
It is minted at Franklin Mint, it is a part of a folder named bird coins of the world.
Looks matte to me.

It looks like matte but it's difficult to see on a picture. It shouldn't be a problem to see the difference when you have the coin in hand. A Special Uncirculated coin is very shiny (not mirror like though!) and a matte coin isn't shiny at all. But sometimes, over the years, shiny coins can have a haze over them. It looks like the part under the twig could be shiny. If you are sure there is no haze on your coin then it's definitely matte.
I'll try to make a picture of the same coin in Special Uncirculated and Matte.
