I don't understand the circles on the photo or the 'double V' comment. The legend there reads TR P COS V.

You will get much clearer photos if you will remove the coin from behind the cellophane.  Weight?

I am inherently suspicious, but it looks like a cast to me.  It is possible that I am seeing corrosion, though.
