I could be wrong, but that looks like strong Machine Doubling
And you are wrong. That is a Doubled Die. 2012 Loonies are known for DD's on the obverse.
E&V,
Machine Doubling reduces the size of the letters, A Doubled Die such as in this case
increases the size of the letters. Just look at the dots and see how the size has increased,
not been reduced. Just something to remember.
