Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique spelling mistake. The name "CARRVNTANVS" is a misspelling of the Latin name "CARRINTHANVS," which is believed to be a reference to the Roman general and statesman, Marcus Vipsanius Agrippa. This error makes the coin particularly rare and valuable among collectors.
