| Reverse description | Schematized bust of Emperor Otto facing left, depicted diademed and draped in the Ottonian tradition, with facial features rendered in a bold, stylized manner typical of tenth-century German hammered coinage. The effigy is executed in comparatively high relief with a pronounced outline, the diadem indicated by a triangular or stepped headdress motif. The bust occupies the central field and is surrounded by the imperial legend. The overall style reflects the primitive yet vigorous artistry of early medieval episcopal mint production. |
