| Obverse description | A plain cross with a single pellet in each of the four quarters occupies the central field, all enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding annular legend reads OTTO IMPERATOR, identifying the issuer as Emperor Otto II, rendered in bold Carolingian capitals characteristic of Ottonian coinage. The overall die style is typical of the late tenth-century Cologne mint, with robust lettering and a well-defined beaded border at the coin's periphery. |
