| Obverse description | Schematic bust of Emperor Otto I facing left, rendered in the crude but vigorous Ottonian hammered style characteristic of Rhenish and Mosan deniers of the mid-tenth century. The effigy is depicted with a crescent-shaped shoulder line and a rounded head, surrounded by a border of pellets. The encircling Latin legend reads OTTO REX IMPER, proclaiming his dual title of king and emperor, introduced with a cross pattée. The flan is irregular and slightly cupped, as is typical of hand-struck silver deniers of the period. |
