There is an older thread here with a similar coin (but a much later year) with speculation on different causes:

That is a neat coin, and you have it? Please let us see the certification and grade. Congrats! A very special coin for sure.

I am not entirely familiar with that type of planchet so correct me if my assumption is wrong here. I assume that the planchet production is a three step process- nickel blank is punched, then the center hole is punched out, followed by the brass core being added. You can see distinct separation between the core and ring on twoonies but this coin does not show that separation. It would take one heck of a heavy plating job to cover that seam but it would also affect the coin's details. Two likely explanations- off metal planchet meant for another coin or the nickel planchet never had the center punched and core added.
