There is nothing during the minting process that would cause this sort of mark on a coin, so it's definately post mint damage. Caused by what? Who knows. With PMD it's always a guessing game.

Is the picture of the Obv and Rev the same coin? The indent on the Rev does not seem to line up with the bump on the Obv.

I would say the reverse was shot with a BB or pellet gun or maybe hit with a punch.

In a village in Poland (Wałki) I was fixed a lawnmower pull string cover. I needed washers so I used 1 grosze coins as washers by poking holes in them with a hammer and nail. They are TOUGH little buggers, but I "got 'r' done"...
I heard people used to nail coins to the peaks of roofs ("rooves?") for good luck...and of course holes for jewlery reasons...
