I see what alarms you.  It appears to me that letters and the outline of features have been strengthened, for example at the rear of the portrait, reverse legend.  Note the reverse figure's heavy arm.

I think it's just photography and lighting and maybe a bit of contrast adjustment.

Dear coin friends,

According seller its a plated coin
Pressed down behind her head on obverse, and no tooling at all.
