Hi kirku, and welcome to the forum. I do not see anything where you put your circle except where the ( written ) cancellation bleeds through!

Maybe if you could also post a picture where you use a different color to trace over what you think you see that is "different". At this point, I agree with Peter. The only thing I see in addition to the crown watermark is the shadow caused by the pen cancel.

OK Kirku, the last edit you did makes it clearer what you are seeing! It looks like a cleaner area in the paper, but not really anything special. I would love for Galeoptix to chime in; he is great with paper varieties.
Kirku, if you can make the heading of this a bit clearer - instead of wmk write out watermark. Maybe Galeoptix, a collector from the Netherlands and a specialist on paper making will notice that!

Petert4522 has it spot on when he describes it as a cancellation bleed through. Do a horizontal flip in your image viewer of the front of stamp and you can see it coincides exactly with the manuscript pen marks bleeding thru to the watermark side.

edited to say it is a horizontal flip required... I was lying down at the time of posting
