Æ25 - Maximinus ΒΡΟΥΖΗΝΩΝ (retrograde ΗΝΩΝ)

Bruzus was a minor Phrygian settlement whose civic coinage output was sparse even by provincial standards — this issue under Maximinus Thrax falls within a three-year window defined entirely by his usurpation and subsequent murder by his own troops outside Aquileia. The retrograde ΗΝΩΝ on the ethnic is not a blunder in the modern pejorative sense but reflects the practical realities of small-town die-cutting, where a single engraver working without oversight could mirror a letter sequence without the error being caught before striking began.
