    It sure looks like a dropped letter or fragment to me.

    Counter clash and very cool!

    This is a known variety:

    This variety is categorized as a Type II Counter Clash, and here is the explanation from maddieclashes.com for how these occur:

    https://www.maddieclashes.com/type-i-and-type-ii-counter-clashes/

    "TYPE II Counter clash. This type of clash is very rare due to the conditions needed to produce this type of clash. During the striking process, a piece of foreign material enters the striking chamber. This could be part of another die or any material that is hard enough to have a full or partial design element impressed into the surface of that material. So, the first striking of the foreign object leaves an impression of a design element. If that piece of debris is left in the striking chamber, the second strike may transfer that design element back onto the die face from the foreign object. Like the other counter clash, there could be an offset of positions between the original design element and the clashed design element left by the foreign object."
