Found this in my change and wondering more about this type of error.
Seems to have a few things going on with it.
Both sides are the same coin.

Re: 2001P Canadian 5 cent error
Welcome to the Forum
Pictures are pretty bright to see the detail but it looks like what is called a "Vise Job"
where 3 coins have been squeesed together leaving the impressions on the middle coin.
This is just a damaged coin with no numismatic value.

It looks like some one pounded another coin on top of it on the Obverse. Need better, clearer photos.

Pictures were taken with an I Phone and cropped.
Had a coin dealer look at it. He told me it was a minting error. But that’s all he could say about it.
Have a hard time believing it was put in a vise or another coin hammered to get this effect.
But at least it an answer to my puzzle.
Thanks D

I wouldn’t put too much stock in that coin dealer if he can’t tell the difference between damage and an error.
These have been posted more times than I can remember on various coin forums. They are easy to spot as the
lettering is in reverse and concuse. If it was a genuine error, the lettering would be positive and raised.

Makes sense on the reverse lettering and indentations.
