My favorite type of post! Congrats on the pick-ups and any thoughts why the letter G is shaped differently in the two inscriptions?

Or, for that matter, the second V in BVRDEGVLA looking distinctly different from the first, and from that in GVILILMO.

And that is a truly WILD M !

Such a great coin. Congrats.
