| Obverse description | Central field features a facing bust of a ruler within a plain inner circle, depicted in a stylized Romanesque manner with rudimentary facial detail. The bust is unadorned and rendered in low relief, typical of Bohemian deniers of the eleventh century. A retrograde or partially garbled Latin legend reading OTTO encircles the central medallion, separated from it by a beaded or plain border. The lettering is irregularly spaced and characteristic of the crude die-cutting of the period. The overall design reflects the primitive yet distinctive artistic style of Moravian hammered coinage under Otto I of Olomouc. |
