背面描述	The reverse displays a horizontal band composition divided by two parallel lines, enclosing the mint name legend TVREC between them, denoting the Zurich mint. Above the upper line, a prominent arch or lunette motif flanked by crescents or decorative ornamental elements is visible, while below the lower line additional decorative shapes appear. The coin's outer border is defined by a beaded circle. The arrangement of mint name between double lines is a hallmark of Ottonian pfennigs struck at imperial mints, and the angular, rough letterforms reflect the hand-cut dies typical of tenth-century German hammered silver coinage.

附加信息	Otto I received imperial coronation from Pope John XII in February 962, and within that same year the Zurich mint — operating under royal authority since the Carolingian period — began producing deniers in his name. The Zurich issues of this reign are among the better-documented Ottonian regional strikings, catalogued by Bernd Kluge whose work on Carolingian and Ottonian coinage remains the primary reference for this series. Otto died in May 973, fixing the window for this type tightly. Zurich mint output from this decade is notably scarcer than the major imperial mints at Mainz or Cologne.
