Welcome aboard.
Others will chime in with the correct terminology but unfortunately this is NOT created by a doubled die. I believe it is a plating issue involving the copper plating over the zinc.
Thanks for posting and keep 'em coming.

Yes, this is plating issue and not uncommon on copper plated planchets.
