At more than 10 grams, this is probably a relatively thick coin. If so, its flan was produced by cutting a slice from a roll. In the case of your coin, the metal was just a little bit too cold when it was shaped into a roll, likely by rolling hot metal over a wooden board. This is why the die is not round.

You can imitate this process with some dough on a kitchen table. If the dough is too dry, the roll will not be round.

An unidentified coin is a piece of metal. An identified coin is a piece of history.
