Whilst still sorting out......Ive never come across this before.........,

the coin looks like it has letters printed on to it. 

has this happened as a chemical reaction by being stored flat against a printed document?

I can see CTE  CLE and what looks like part of A

intriguing find for me 🤔

Certainly looks like transfer of newsprint to me.

In the case of written text, I suspect it may have been underneath a piece of blotting paper or at least something as adsorbant as bog-roll. That was the only way I could rationalise my 1773 halfpenny on a spread flan with Basing House plus some indecipherables written in the hand of H Webb. The above could equally be due to someone making a poster. Anything written or pressed onto newsprint with excess ink is likely to pass through quite easily given the paper quality.
