Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique spelling mistake. The coin's inscription "A POMP A F L II VIR COL TVN" contains a typo, with the letter "V" appearing twice in a row. This error was likely made by the engraver or mint worker who created the coin's design, and it has become a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
