Interesting fact
The Antoninianus coin , which features Numerian on one side and the inscription "VNDIQVE VICTORES" on the other, is notable for its unusual spelling mistake. The word "VNDIQVE" is a misspelling of the Latin word "VINDIQVE," which means "conquerors." This error was likely caused by a mistake in the die-cutting process, and it makes the coin a unique and interesting piece of history.
