| Beschrijving keerzijde | Incuse mirror image of the obverse design, as is characteristic of bracteate coinage produced by striking a single die through a thin silver flan. No independent design, inscription, or device appears on this face; the relief of the obverse equestrian composition is faintly visible in reverse as an inherent consequence of the bracteate minting technique. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Otto IV's tenure as Holy Roman Emperor was turbulent from the start — excommunicated by Pope Innocent III in 1210 after reneging on territorial promises made to secure papal support, he rapidly lost the allegiance of German princes who then backed the Hohenstaufen claimant Frederick II. These thin, single-sided bracteates were struck during precisely that contested window, when Otto's authority was collapsing province by province.
The bracteate format was standard north German minting practice by this period, but the extreme fragility of the fabric means undamaged survivors are genuinely uncommon.
