Looks like it might be a plating issue. BTW: It's not a filled die on the rev. On the obverse, immediately opposite this area is Lincoln's...
Q1: If we knew, we wouldn't be schlepping around on CT talking about circulation finds :greedy: Q2: Weight will tell you if it's zinc or copper....

Your coin matches up with KM-51 from Aachen in the Krause German Coins catalog, but they don't list a 1799. The 3rd edition lists a retail value...
None appear to be rare. I'm not up on current values but they should be worth a couple bucks each with the Dinkslaken possible a little more.
It's a German token, but will be difficult to ID witout a location. A quick google search and check of MA-Shops didn't turn up anything
Yeah, not worth much, but still a cool find.
