Denier Bracteate - Otto IV

正面描述	Central field displays a rampant lion facing left, rendered in bold relief characteristic of early 13th-century German bracteate coinage, positioned within a beaded inner circle. Above the lion appears a stylized architectural or heraldic element, likely representing a crown or fortified structure with horizontal banded decoration. The surrounding border consists of a Latin legend arranged along the coin's periphery, separated from the central motif by a beaded ring. The overall design is executed in the flat, single-sided hammered technique typical of Rhenish and Saxon bracteates of the Staufen era. The flan is irregular in outline, consistent with hand-cut medieval planchets.

背面描述	As a bracteate, this coin is single-sided; the reverse presents the incuse, mirror-image impression of the obverse design, showing the rampant lion and surrounding legend in negative relief. The surface is characteristically plain and unadorned, bearing only the faint incuse marks transferred through the thin silver flan during striking. The texture of the reverse reflects the fabric of the die support used during hammering, typical of bracteate manufacturing technique. No intentional design or inscription was applied to the reverse.
