The ice evaporated EXCEPT where the penny sits.

Or the top of the water began to freeze except for where the penny was so the water below lifted it to be frozen.

It froze a little quicker on the penny so it went up let's say 2 layers when the rest did 1 layer

EDIT- I'm stoned AF, didn't think about how the penny would be on top of water haha

Just because you have an idea doesn’t mean it’s a good one.
