Texture makes it look frosty, maybe grease did it other strange depressions on obverse.

tough to say from the pics but my first guess would be some type of corrosive.

That's an unusual surface for a coin not to have some sort of damage. Seems like extensive surface pitting with weak/mushy details. Doesn't appear to be a mint error.

i was perusing a canadian coin site that has a lot of sections the other night and i saw some legit coins that had an effect called "rippling" and the surfaces looks just like it sounds. the metal is quite rippled like the waves water.

while your coins is obviously not one of those, since candian coins do have plenty of examples of quirky surface effects, i will say that your coin has a small chance of perhaps being an error along those lines.

i still feel the most likely explanation is a type of corrosive but i will not say i am 100% certain after having viewed some more candian error coins.
