Looks like it was in a bezel or a jewelry mount for something. Those are solder marks, making it PMD. It's only worth melt, usually 13x face as of recently.

Your coin has solder attachments, it was mounted on something else at some point in its life before being removed. Not an error, just damage.
Rest in Peace
