It could be a variety of things. It would be one heckuva die chip/break if it was an error. But the porousity on the reverse does make me lean toward heating of some sort, though.
better pics are needed. With the ones supplied I'd say the coin has been heated or something has been applied to it. Either way, it's PSD (Post Strike Damage).
