Not sure what it is, but it appears to me a damage. If it were a die issue the marks would be raised. It can't be a clash as devices that low could not be affected during a clash. The areas that are the highest raised prevented what ever event from affecting the lowest devices. So I still thinking PMD from contact with something.
Raised, at least on the lapel. It's polished just like the material around it (look at how rounded it is under the chin). No displaced metal. Pulled from a pure bank box (I know that doesn't mean not PMD).
