It's Ridge Ring. It's a form of Die Deterioration. The die that struck your coin was worn out.

On the die, the letters are incuse (below the level of the field. when a Ridge Ring forms, it will become incuse as well (thus rising up on the coin) - slowly getting to the level of the letters.
Your Ridge Ring is now that far along yet - that is why it 'appears' to be behind the letters.
