Photo of a coin sold by Classical Numismatic Group, link to the sale and their website: https://www.cngcoins.com/Coin.aspx?CoinID=273405. No globule on the reverse, just small defects.
Variant with the letter M reversed on the obverse. I think that like on many coins including Roman, a tool was used to write the vertical bars of the letters. Then they probably engraved the rest by hand. The letter M therefore saw its middle reversed by mistake.
