Mine don't have this.

Looks like a stain from printing the brownish background colour.

Looks like a dried spot from a coffee drip, especially since the outer ring is thicker than the inner ring.

Those circles are ink droplets and are called donuts - naturally because of their shape. Not an uncommon occurrence.

Wish it was a coffee stain...But, it is a golden colour and shiny and rim is raised a bit...strange.

Time for a taste test. It's the only definitive way to get the answer.
