I just picked up this coin that has a spelling error on the obverse-  CONSTANTINS


cf Trier Ric 102

Intruding.

Here another example: IMP C FL VAL CONSTANTINS PF AVG

Here is a coin I just saw on eBay with an obverse legend of CONSANTINVS.

Unfortunately it has a ridiculous opening bid of $495.00 with a buy in now of $895.00.

PROVIDENTIAE AVGS

I think that the last letter is a G that looks different because of some encrustation on it, or perhaps even a die break or some other minting error- look at the E in PROVIDENTIAE, it has an odd bit trailing off the bottom.
