| Beschrijving keerzijde | A plain cross pattée at center, with the letters O-D-D-O distributed one in each canton, spelling the name of King Otto III. A circular inner ring encloses the cross and cantonal letters. The surrounding legend reads ODDO +DI GRA+ REX, invoking the king's name and the Dei Gratia Rex title in crude Ottonian letterforms, with pellet stops separating the elements. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued under Bishop Osdag (consecrated 989, died 996), this anonymous denier falls within the brief window of his episcopate — a period when Hildesheim's minting rights were still being consolidated under Ottonian imperial patronage. The lack of a named authority on the coin is characteristic of early German ecclesiastical issues, where episcopal identity was often subordinated to the prestige of the issuing see itself rather than its current occupant.
