I'm not entirely sure what you are seeing, but it's not an H if that's what think it is. Or the face of Jesus either.

Ah, sorry. I don't think it's a 5 either TBH.

It is much clearer on the original photograph, however I had to reduce it to very low res to get it passed the 500kb max image size!

You're seeing things. Another classic case of pareidolia, methinks.

On a genuine die 5, the die number is much larger than your "blob" and also slightly to the right of a border tooth. Your anomaly is to the left... See below:

Can you crop the original photo to the area of interest and then compress the smaller area to 500kb if necessary?

The freeware irfanview will do the job very well.

This is a cropped image already, taken from a digital microscope and compressed via tinyfy. Which apparently makes it look like I took the photo with a potato.
