| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare head of Emperor Otho facing right, rendered in fine high-relief portraiture typical of Julio-Claudian and early Flavian goldsmithing. The effigy displays the emperor's characteristic features with close-cropped hair and a strong profile. The encircling legend reads IMP OTHO CAESAR AVG TR P, distributed around the field. The portrait conveys imperial authority consistent with the brief Othonian coinage of AD 69. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Otho ruled for 91 days before his suicide at Bedriacum in April 69 AD, making his coinage among the shortest-reigned of any Roman emperor. The mint at Rome worked quickly to establish his legitimacy — these aurei were struck in the opening weeks of his reign, before the military situation against Vitellius had fully deteriorated. The peace messaging was deliberate propaganda against the backdrop of active civil war.
RIC I 5 is scarcer than its sister issues. Survivors in any condition command serious attention.
