Nope.

This appears to be one of a "chain" of coins that were soldered together, possibly to make a piece of jewelry. It was broken apart from the "chain."

It could have been something similar to the one below, although it appears to have been soldered edge-to-edge, instead of overlapping.

Ratzie33 - Try to look at coins you find objectively and without attempting to assign causes for their appearance. When you have a coin that looks different or unusual, post a good sharp photo, describe what you see, and let members offer their comments. They are more experienced than you, and will help guide you toward understanding the differences between errors and common damage.

Not a capped die and not a clipped planchet but I do wonder where you get these imaginative descriptions from on some of the coins you post.

I think it may be a cast counterfeit, those are the casting sprue and the vent.

If it is, it has to be one of the worst attempts that I have ever seen.

Possibly brazed together with others then twisted apart...?

Quite possible.
