Chute72 is correct. This type of engraving is called wiggle or wriggle cut. It is a very quick way to add engraving, but not the most attractive way.

Another example of craftmanship. The picture shows a Belgian copper 2 centimes coin, probably from shortly before WW I. What is retained is the monogram and crown of King Albert I and the outer rim of the coin. It has been gilded and worn as a medal.
