I found this coin a few months ago, I've asked a few people who collect coins, and they wouldn't guess. The coin is the size of a quarter, but it is not perfectly round. The back appears to be from a nickel.

Yep, it looks like a perfectly ordinary US 5 cent coin that's had a US 1 cent coin squashed into it, leaving the mirror-image-incuse design of the cent behind.

I can see someone trying to make a nickel into a quarter for a vending machine or something by smashing it.

Stranger things happen. Put a nickel between two thick pieces of leather. Pound until you have a Texas nickel.
