    Sir.
    It's a deffects of a circulation of this coin. I don't think that someone have spoiled this coin intentionally.
    As for a ruler: it is a coin of Ferdinand VII or his daughter Isabel II.

    if you look close there are alot of nicks on the surface and the other side has no detail and the edges are really jagged

    Looks like someone hammered it one the one side and the design is totally missing on the other is this how they used to prepare a coin if they planned to restrike it
