| Obverse description | Three-line Latin inscription arranged horizontally within a beaded inner circle, reading IOHS PAPA / OTTO across the field, jointly commemorating Pope John XIII and Emperor Otto I. The legend is set in a plain field with no figurative imagery, reflecting the austere epigraphic style characteristic of early medieval Papal coinage. The lettering is rendered in a rustic Roman majuscule typical of the period. The coin is of irregular flan with some surface porosity consistent with its hammered manufacture and age. |
