Just circulation damage along with the other damage on the face.
There is no way for a recessed Z to happen during the striking of the coin.

It's damage from a hit that resembles a Z.

...damage.

Something that will greatly benefit you in identifying stuff like this is knowing how coin dies are made. An interesting page from Coinnews:
How coin dies are made/used:

Zeppelin tribute coin -

"In 1971, Led Zeppelin primarily "made" and released the songs on their fourth album, Led Zeppelin IV, which included "Black Dog," "Rock and Roll," "The Battle of Evermore," "Stairway to Heaven," "Misty Mountain Hop," "Four Sticks," "Going to California," and "When the Levee Breaks". The album was released in November 1971"

Great memories...my first concert 1977 Pontiac Silver Dome.
A member here (can't remember their name) has a tag in their signature "when I listen to Led Zeppelin...so do my neighbors"
