I don't know how or why they put the NFC antenna in the battery.

Samsung doesn't say why:

Here is a guy who opines why Samsung put the NFC antenna in the battery:

This guy says pretty much the same thing:

It's funny that I bought an NFC battery because it was a buck or two more
expensive than the non-NFC equivalent - but I figured - what the heck - I
would be a big spender to pay to ameliorate risk just like most people do.

Most people buy scared, so, why not me too!

I don't think I had the Samsung Galaxy SIII (bought new from T-Mobile) for
more than a year and a half before the battery started giving me trouble
near the middle of the day, where by two years it wouldn't last an hour.

I think I've had a total (counting the original) of about 5 batteries since
I've owned the phone. 

It's kind of handy to have 3 charged up at once because if I forget to
charge overnight, I have spares on hand. The only problem is that I have to
swap backs to put in the really big 7,000 mAH battery in the picture
previously shown, so I have to have backs on hand also.

That's why I have three batteries and three backs (I have more backs but I
only need 3 because I save them in different locations so as to be handy).

The rubber backs are GREAT and are an improvement over the original thin
plastic back. Plus, they only cost $1 each.
