It looks like cast lead to me. Someone made a plaster mold; heated some sinkers up; and poured it. The "bump" on the top is where the metal was poured into the mold and the excess ended up solidifying in the "channel" (technically called a "gate") through which the molten lead was poured.
With practice and experimentation the lead cast coin would not be hard to make. As a kid I used to play around with melting lead and pouring it into molds all the time. I once did it with a Kennedy half - but melted it later to make something else.

How much squash could a Sasquatch squash if a Sasquatch would squash squash?
