| Obverse description | Within a beaded inner circle, the name OTTO is displayed in prominent letters at the center of the field, rendered in the bold, irregular style characteristic of early medieval hammered coinage. A circular legend surrounds the inner circle, reading OTTO ✠ DOM IOHS PAPA, invoking both Emperor Otto I and Pope John XII in a joint titular formula. The lettering is in Roman capitals of varying regularity, reflecting hand-cut dies of the period. The overall composition is typical of Ottonian-era papal deniers, emphasizing textual content over figural imagery. |
