It does indeed seem to be an error.  These things happen not commonly but really not of special significance, particularly on small coins.  Technically, it is a rarity, but one that would not be much appreciated.

Probably from a branch mint in Spain or Gaul, explaining the rather clumsy lettering and the omitted E.

I agree with Curtis.  Contemporary Spanish imitations of Claudian quadrans are quite common.  Most capture the legend faithfully, but can be identified by other signs such as serious mis-alignment/off-set strike and/or odd depictions of the modius.
