to the CCF I think you got it. Looks like half was heated just enough to puddle but not enough to destroy the coin. This coin is zinc with a thin layer of copper. The zinc would melt before the copper, so it puddled up inside the copper plate, then solidified.

I'm on board with exposure to intense heat--post-strike damage.

Yep, heat will crinkle the copper plating just like yours shows.
