Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique spelling mistake. The name "NICEP IIVIR" is a misspelling of the name "NICOPOLIS," which was a city in ancient Greece. This error suggests that the coin may have been produced quickly or with less attention to detail, which could make it a rare and interesting find for collectors.
