Opinions as to how to call this error, why does the coin have a second "A", what lead to minting a coin like this, and how did they mint the coins back then - are all welcome.

Also, I'd like to ask why is the denomination written like in the Soviet times - the fourth letter is "E" not "b"* like on other Empire coins?
* I know that it's in fact not a "b" but can't think of a better way of describing it

Easy, this coin was double struck which was still common back then.

I like how the double struck areas look spread out with the widely-spaced A, as if the planchet became larger on the second strike?
I noticed the spelling too and by checking coins on ebay, I see the different spelling as early as 1814.

I don't know if it was noticed but you can also see the duplication of the second 0 of the date to the right, below the O that is stronger.

Fun Coin!

Hello.
It is usual double impact. Rather very frequent phenomenon.
See. First when have rapped out a coin it not about it was minted. Also have made once again impact.

здравствуeте.
это обычныe двоeноe удар. весьма очень частое явление.
видите. сначала когда отчеканили монету она не про чеканилось. и сделали еще раз удар .
