| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field displays a small equal-armed cross set within a plain raised inner circle, similar in style to the obverse type. The peripheral legend OTTO MPERATOR (for OTTO IMPERATOR) is distributed around the outer border in large, somewhat irregular Latin capitals, referencing the authority of Emperor Otto I. The flan edges are uneven and clipped in places, characteristic of hammered silver deniers of the mid-tenth century. The overall design follows the standard Carolingian-derived denier format, with the imperial title asserting the dual authority of duke and emperor over the Breisach mint. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Burchard III ruled Swabia as duke from 954 until his death in 973, and his joint issue with Otto I reflects the political reality of Ottonian Germany: ducal coinage required imperial sanction, and the pairing of names on silver deniers was a deliberate assertion of that hierarchy. The Breisach mint sat on a strategically vital Rhine crossing, giving it commercial reach well beyond Swabia's interior.
Otto I received his imperial coronation in Rome in 962 — the terminus post quem for this issue — making this a product of the first decade of the renovated Western Empire.
