Comment
For this coin, RIC 331 references BMC 186. However, that coin is .Interesting fact
The Dupondius coin from Rome, minted in 18 BC, features an image of CRISPINV A A A F F S C on one side and an image of a Roman Emperor on the other. This coin was made of bronze and was a standard circulation coin during the Roman Empire, which spanned from 27 BC to 395 AD. One interesting fact about this coin is that the image of CRISPINV A A A F F S C on the coin is actually a mistake. The coin was minted with the wrong dies, resulting in the misspelling of the emperor's name. Instead of "CRISPINVS," the coin reads "CRISPINV A A A F F S C." This error makes the coin particularly rare and valuable among collectors.
