1983? Sure it's not just a chocolate round?

Date can't be right.. Loonies were not produced until 1987.

The shiny part is depressed.
The none shiny part on the other side of the line is raised.
The line across the queens face is part of the depression....it was made when the coin was stamped.
Hope that helps

I have seen coins like this that turned out to have clear glue stuck to them.

Those vertical lines sure look like some sort of plastic, cellophane or glue
has been ripped off this coin

Anything "depressed" on the coin did not come from the die. Once a die strikes the planchet, all the design elements are in relief or "raised". The "depressed" part of any coin is the "field". It looks to me like a foreign substance or post-mint intentional damage of some sort.
