It would probably be a good idea to post something about why you went to the trouble to image this coin and post it here. Just a couple of images does not a post make.

The point was - at least ask a question about what you have. Just the images alone leaves too much to interpretation and guessing.

Due to the coloring of the raised areas on the coin you may want to try and see if you can remove some of those spots. They appear to be some sort of debris and will most likely come off of the coins surface. Try a little lighter fluid and a cotton swab first and see what happens. Then if a change in color of the area try to pick at it some with a sewing needle.

Solder would make sense with the reddish color. Do you have one of those jewelers soldering irons ? Or one with a very narrow/pointed electrode ? Give it a little heat.
