It's "privately carved."
They're like Buffalo nickels. I've seen coins like these and it's basically someone who didn't like Napoleon and goofed up his portrait.

OK, on his hair I can imagine, but how about his goatee? That doesn't look self carving?

Thanks for the answers.

Well it's historical.
Coins that are modified for political satire can also go for a premium.
