The PAXX AVGG reverse type — a deliberate orthographic choice, not a die-cutter's error — appears during the Diocletianic period when the twin-Augustus system of the First Tetrarchy was being ideologically consolidated. The doubled X in PAXX remains debated among specialists; some read it as an emphatic scribal convention, others as a regional workshop habit traceable to specific officinae. RIC V.2 402 places this emission within Maximianus's western output, though precise mint attribution across this period is complicated by the deliberate uniformity Diocletian imposed on imperial coinage to project cohesion between the two augusti.
