I'm not entirely sure what that is, but it certainly didn't come out of the mint that way. It's damaged, sorry.

Looks like some kind of molten metal has been dripped on it

Thanks CoinKid and Gunrunner,
The silver pieces are pressed into the copper, not just lying on top.
Odd piece for sure, and why someone would undertake the project is just another mystery we uncover.
No need for sorrows, it's an interesting piece.
Best digs to All!
