    Die crack. Another die crack goes through the 'E' of REPUBLICA to the rim.

    The lines are die cracks from a worn out die. As for the letters being deformed, it looks like the rim of the coin is damaged from about the U of REPUBLICA to just past the X in MEXICANA. That could be the why those letters look deformed.
