| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stylized winged figure, interpreted as a cherub or angel, depicted frontally with spread wings in a schematic, flat Romanesque manner. A single star or pellet ornament appears above the figure. The design is contained within a beaded or rope border and occupies the full field of the flan, with no surrounding legend. The relief is low and the flan noticeably irregular, consistent with hand-hammered medieval bracteate-style production. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Otto II served as Bishop of Freising from 1184 until his death in 1220, a tenure that overlapped with the turbulent struggle between the Hohenstaufen emperors and the papacy. Freising held the right to strike coin by imperial grant, and the bishopric's mint output during this period was closely tied to the economic demands of a diocese sitting astride the major road between Italy and the German lands — a route that moved pilgrims, merchants, and imperial armies alike.
The CNA reference Cj 1a places this among the earliest documented attributions for Otto II's coinage, suggesting it may represent the opening phase of his mint activity rather than a later issue.
