Called a false die overstrike. Take a coin and place it between two sheets of metal such as brass or aluminum. Squeeze it in a vise. The design will sink into the two sheets of metal, creating crude false dies. Turn the coin within the false dies and squeeze again. Some of the coin will be embossed up into the designs in the false dies.

These are second- and third-rate fakes. Quality control is usually not an issue.
