Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a rare spelling mistake. The word "ΠΩΛΛΙΩΝΟϹ" (Pollionos) is misspelled as "ΠΩΛΛΙΩΝΟϹ" (Pollionos) instead of the correct spelling "ΠΩΛΛΙΩΝΩΝ" (Pollionon). This error is known as a "variant" and is highly sought after by collectors.
