Looks like a knife job. I.e., someone carved the "x" into it. Nothing known is similar as a VAM. All coins like this turn out to be the cause of knife carving.

No value to this coin. Just silver bullion value. But nice countertop.

How can it be from a knife if the die break is raised? It's clearly a raised die break from nose and mouth to the stars? Obverse. Wouldn't a knife cause an indention?

Go to Vamworld.com and put the word "knife" into the search box. Then read some of the threads. That might answer your question.
