Variance on my coin? - 1 Luigino - Ferdinando II 1660 [solved]

Discussion about Tuscany, Grand Duchy of • 1 Luigino - Ferdinando II

The lettering on my version of this coin is somewhat different.

 

The obverse reads ‘Ferdinandus‘ instead of ‘Ferdinand’, and the reverse says ‘Glor’ instead of ‘Glo’. 
 

Is it possible this is a variant, or is it fake? I bought it from a reputable dealer, but I suppose they could have been fooled too.

 

Thank you!

 

Edit: Looking at other pictures online, I haven’t come across any like mine, but I have found oddly similar variances - such as ‘Ferdinan’ instead of Numista’s specimen’s ‘Ferdinand’ and the same for ‘Gl’ instead of ‘Glo’. Is it possible that they just managed to fit more text on some and less on others?

Thank you very much for your help!

 

I have very few coins from this era, so wasn’t aware that it was a possibility, thank you!
