, christo!

My guess is PMD, like coins squeezed together in a vice.

If squeezed together in a vice wouldn't "R" be incuse/inverted?

Edit: the site automatically changed "R" to "are". Had to redo it with quotation marks.

I wondered that too, but what if it's a "second squeeze"? First, you vise together two coins, then you use one with a reversed "R" to squeeze the coin shown here? I'm immediately suspicious when I see details crossing the rim--shouldn't a genuine indent brockage show much more force and distortion on this coin? Just guesses here--I'm no expert.

This looks like a home project. No idea how they did it, but I don't think it was done at the mint.

Would it be possible for you to remove the coin from the holder and take some high resolution photos of each side...
