I moved this here but not sure this is where it belongs, if someone can tell me what the heck it is I will move it to the appropriate forum. I just knew I had seen that dude on the Obverse on some Australian coins so figured this was a good place to start

Looks like the planchet split during prior to the it entering the dies and was minted with the peeled back portion being struck on the reverse. The obverse came out almost OK.

It looks like it might be a Coin Indent Error. I say that with some caution though because while I have seen many of these errors I haven't seen one with a ragged indent like this before. |

I just knew I had seen that dude on the Obverse on some Australian coins so figured this was a good place to start I moved it to world varieties and errors for you, Bryan. It's from Malaya (the mainland part of the country now known as Malaysia). People that collect British Empire/Commonwealth coins learn to ignore anything written on the obverse of monarchs before Elizabeth II. The obverse tells nothing about what country a coin is from. Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

I wondered about an indent too, since it appears the milled edge is present in the mark? But I don't know what caused the peeling effect--did part of this coin get bonded by pressure to the previously struck coin, and peel away from the core when the two coins were separated?  |

It's a partial brockage. A previously-struck 5 cent coin overlapped the planchet represented by your coin during the strike.
