Hi
This coin has some details from reverse die on obverse (please see around lion), I think it`s from damaged die, but how is printed this big eight in the green circle - interesting error to me. What do you think?

I see evidence of a die clash around the lion, so I wonder if that circled area is a clash too?

It's an intentional overstrike. Many of these 1836 2 centimes were struck over older Netherlands 1 cent coins. It also looks like the either the Belgium dies clashed or you've got a case of progressive, indirect design transfer (a.k.a. "design transfer", "heavy design transfer", "internal metal displacement phenomenon"). It's a form of die wear.
