Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique spelling mistake. The inscription "C PROCVLEI L F" is a misspelling of the name of the Roman emperor Augustus, who ruled from 27 BC to 14 AD. The mistake is believed to have been made by the engraver of the coin, who may have been a local artist working in Cephallenia. This error makes the coin a rare and interesting piece for collectors and historians.
