| Obverse description | Central field features a plain cross pattée enclosed within a raised inner circle or beaded annulus, dividing the surrounding legend. The circumferential Latin legend reads OTTO CAESAR, introduced by a cross pommée, with the large, somewhat crudely formed capital letters characteristic of Ottonian hammered coinage. The flan is irregular and slightly ragged at the rim, consistent with hand-cut silver planchets of the tenth century. The overall style is typical of early medieval Imperial German deniers, with bold lettering and simple geometric design. |
