Its called a magicians coin. Two coins are used to manufacture it and if you look hard under magnification you'll see a seam. Sometimes the seam is just inside the rim where one coin is hollowed out by machining and the other coin is cut down and dropped into this coin's hollow. Not a mint error and not much value.
