Language is constantly in motion. New words are introduced, old ones fall into disuse, and what is considered the correct spelling at one moment is suddenly completely archaic half a century later. This is no different for place names. Nijmegen was not always Nijmegen. The city wore out quite a few place name signs before it came to its current name; Ulpia Noviomagi, Nouimagi, Niumaga, Neomage, Nimagna, Numegen, Nymegen...
But what if we completely ignored that natural process? If the first term used for a place is carved in stone, recorded in a notarial deed, credited into the Constitution, and shouted from the rooftops as the only, eternal, unchanging name? Then you get a card like this.
