I dont believe it's ghosting, perhaps a clash?

The problem might be that this shape doesn't look like any device on the obverse of this coin  If someone placed another coin on it and took a hammer to them, I'd guess the rim of the other coin would make an impression as well, wouldn't it? And there is no sign of that. |

Or it could e a clash with another denomination like we see on the Flying Eagle cents of the US |

In Russia been the practice recoinage coins. The new coins were made of old coins. Perhaps it is the traces of the old coin.  |

It's definitely a clash. You can see the outline of the double head eagle. This is just very pronounced.

gxseries, absolutely right. I did overlap. The result is identical.

The practice of overstriking over older coins stopped at the end of 1700s. I am not aware of any official Russian coins overstruck over older coins after 1800s

Yes you are right. The last official recoinage in Tsarist Russia - the end of XVIII - the beginning XIX century.
P.S. there is information about recoinage in Soviet Russia in the XX century.

I think you are mixing up some terminology here. I believe you were talking about overstriking, which ended at the start of Paul I era (1797 - 1801). Overstrike is the use of older coins as planchets to be struck as fresh coins. This normally results in newer design with traces of the older design in the background.
The Soviet era "recoinage" is different. While similar planchets were used (with different metal composition), the value of the ruble was devalued from 10 to 1. So what was worth one ruble is now worth only 10 kopek.

Maybe I can not really be expressed. Unfortunately, I do not speak english and I use Google translator. A sense replaced and not always translated correctly. Excuse me!))).
