The design elements on the die are incuse so that when a coin is struck the design will be in relief. The base of each design element on a coin is wider than its highest point to facilitate the release of the coin from the die.
Your coin was struck by a die that had been abraded down enough to remove the wide shoulder of the design from the face of the die. With the wide shoulder gone the lines that form the numerals are smaller as seen with the 4 and increasing the diameter of the circles that form the 8
