Strange markings on a George VI coin

Any ideas on how this error (or die damage) might have occurred?

The coin is a South African shilling of 1942.

All I get is a red X.

I get the red X too. I think you did not put an extension on your address, perhaps?

welp, it's not .bmp, .jpg, or .gif

Hmm. Normally tinypic.com is a good host for images. I'm not sure why it didn't work this time. Let me try a couple runarounds...

Okay, this should work.

Notice in particular the die break (???) at the base of His Majesty's neck, and the lines around GEORGIUS.

Very cool die breaks. I love it.
