1M copper(ii) sulfate, a copper strip and a coin? I'm guessing the coin is made out of silver

I'm also guessing that the silver coin is the anode and the copper strip is the cathode?

The copper strip anode dissolves: Cu -----> Cu2+ + 2e-

The cathode (silver coin) gets copper plated:

Cu2+ + 2e- -----> Cu
