Answer
The TRVST spelling of the word trust is normal for coins of that time period. That's just the way they did it back then -- using the Greek Roman alphabet.
It's that way on all Peace Dollars, as well as some other U.S. coins. If you look at the front of a quarter from the 1920's you will see the same TRVST spelling.
To give you a value on your specific coin, I will need more information about what you have -- i.e. denomination, date, any mintmark, and condition of wear.

FINAL Answer
It's not really tradition or "stylization". The fashion at the time was to use the Roman alphabet for classically-themed artwork. The Roman alphabet was essentially the same as ours except that it only had 24 letters. I and V could act as vowels, consonants, or numbers. You had to decipher from the context, just like we do with the letter C. If you saw the letter V in a place where a vowel was needed you automatically replaced it with a U sound when speaking or reading. Ditto for I and J sounds.
It wasn't until the Middle Ages that the people started to use U and J to keep the sound separate, and these 2 letters were added to the alphabet.
