I'm not very familiar with die chips or die breaks but I spent a lot of time searching and that was the closest thing to what I was seeing. I found one person who had something similar but I couldn't find any updates on it, I checked coins-on-cuds as well but couldn't find anything..
This is the similar one, hopefully the link works!

There was a similar "extra rocks/trees/bushes" one on CCF a while back. Did not have the chip on the bear's leg though. Here's a comparison I did between US Mint image (left) and the CCF coin (right).
Not sure if I'm allowed to post link to that discussion but here it is. https://www.coincommunity.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=318469&SearchTerms=effigy,mounds

It looks like a die chip. In order to be positive. compare your coin with an image of another or another 25c in hand.
Got it 😄
