Error coin rightly enough, the missing letters are due to lettering in the die being filled with grease or other debris
One of the more common types of errors, but an error nevertheless.

I agree with @sel, but also note that the 100 years of circulation have also worn down some of the details. It is hard to know what was never fully struck at this point but it does seem likely that several letters in the inscription weren't.
