Quite interesting...
If it clattered and hit three times, why would it be incuse? And the other images are rotated significantly, but no trace of that happening on the reverse.

Could a previously-struck coin have left behind plating residue on the obverse die? I'm thinking of copper plating peeling off the high points of the early coin, rotated slightly, matching low points on this coin.
As of right now, this seems like the only reasonable explanation to me.
