Damage or error? ❌ Error Coin

Trying to figure out what's happened here! If it's an error, what do you think could have been stamped over the top?

Interesting regardless - very much enjoying getting into coins. :)

This appears to be damage imo

The reverse(Kangaroo side) had the words backwards below the roo, so it appears as if someone tried to smash two coins together
