It's not outlandish to suggest that these represent intrinsic metallic inclusions. There are many routes by which foreign matter ends up embedded in coins. However, since these metal particles are not elongated, do not align with the "grain" of the coin, and are surrounded by a narrow fissure, it's most likely they were either rolled into the strip near the end of the rolling process or were struck into the coin.Comment
