<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Justin Lee, post: 4071723, member: 87404&quot;]The initial coin representing Italica showed a reverse with ITAL with a legend break after IT at the top and a widely spaced A L at right. When a coin was then later created for Augusta, they simply copied the previous coin and swapped the A L at right with AVG representing Augusta, but they mistakenly recreated/copied the IT at the top from the initial Italica coin in the later coin probably not even realizing it (Was the engraver lliterate? Did he have little understanding of the meaning of the legend or what IT meant? Was there no proofreading or quality control? Did they catch it, but just thought &quot;who cares&quot; and struck with it anyways?).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
