Yer Ugly Mug (Sorry to Bug)

Where's the site again?

ObConlang: I found a toy coin in an old box of stuff, and it has the
following written on it:

AVAG CO BEPSIG

The only other ones I found had Spanish on them.   This left me with several
questions:

(1) Is it a conlang?   (Probably not.)
(2) Is it a real language? (Anyone?)
(3) Is it a jumble?
(3a) If it is, is it just the letters in the word that were mixed up, or were
the letters of the whole phrase mixed up, and then pieced together to form
"words"?
(3b) Again, if it's a jumble, is it a jumble in Spanish or English (or
something else?!)?
(4) Is it just random, made-up stuff done by the manufacturer, signifying
nothing (from China, incidentally)?
(5) Is there some program that could tease this out automatically?

That's it from me.   I'm working on a website.   It turns out not to be that
tough.   And fun!
