Victorian Three-pence - Countermark?

I have this Victorian three-pence c.1808 with this strange mark on the obverse.
Is it a 'countermark?
Has anyone seen anything like this before?

Maybe 1868, not 1808. I have handled many of them and not seen one marked at all. No idea what if anything it represents.

 

Sorry - Typo on my part - Should read 1880.

 

If it's a counter-punch it'll be pushed out on the reverse.

 

There is some 'distortion' but no alteration to the image.

 

Looks like soldering, maybe old jewelry piece?

 

@Mat I think you are right. As it was made into an old 'Love Token', soldering into an old jewellery piece would fit. Thanks.
