    Surface looks raised. I'm curious as to what kind of PMD.

    Shoot, evil shavers/biters? Full photog of the coin would be more revealing. I'm invoking my privilege Insider........

    It looks like something stuck on the surface. Putty?

    Looks to me like someone hit the surface of the coin many times with a small tool (note the similarly shaped depressions in numerous locations) to obscure a much more serious problem with the coin. In essence, I consider the coin to be tooled.

    Someone accidentally dripped a drop of acid used to determine gold purity on the coin. Ate away unevenly at the poor lady's face.
