Almost fullcopper nickel band. But not quite, unfortunately. Some of the copper core is still showing.
The cladding has rolled over the edge during striking. In almost all cases, there is at least some wrapping of the cladding over the edge. This a more extreme example.
Looks like the metal movement when the blank was cut, moved the copper in that direction? Full reed edge all the way around? (reeds not flattened on the edge?)
