Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique spelling mistake. The Latin inscription "DISPERSIT DEDIT PAVPERIBVS" contains a typo, with the word "PAVPERIBVS" being misspelled as "PAVPERIVS". This error was likely caused by a mistake in the engraving process and has become a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
