I was asked to weigh in. This is an early impression from a clashed cap. A featureless, late-stage die cap collided with the reverse die in the absence of a planchet, picking up a fresh but incomplete reverse design. This was transferred to the next few planchets, this being one of them. The incuse reverse design elements represent a secondary brockage.
