Maximianus GENIO from Lyon with odd letters on reverse

This coin has something odd going on with some letters in the reverse legend. Two of the O's look more like G's...GENIG PGP; but the O in ROMANI looks normal.

Interesting- never seen anything like it!

Those "O"s are the strangest, but the L of POPVLI is more like a sideways "T" and ROMANI has a spurious I before the M making it ROIMANI.

What's wierd is how good the rest of it is, especially the obverse.
