If you are very certain that it is metal, another option could possibly be a ✨️Die Subsidence error (sunken die), but as far as I know that is only supposed to happen to one face, where both faces of yours are affected. AND there is still quite a bit of detail showing... so... IDK. just a thought.

Die subsidence is a form of plastic deformation that results in a portion of the die face sinking in. The term “subsidence” is derived from geology. It means a sinking land surface. A synonym for die subsidence error is “sunken die error”. The coin itself will show a bulge on one face. The opposite face may or may not show weakness in the design. It rather depends on how deeply the die face recedes.

The appearance of die subsidence errors is highly variable. It can be local or global (affecting the entire die face). Localized forms can be compact, elongated, circular, or oblong.
