| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central cross with a left-facing episcopal bust emerging from the upper arm, rendered in schematic Romanesque style. A pellet or rosette ornament is placed atop the head, and the bust is flanked by wings or drapery elements to either side. Stylized trefoil or pellet motifs occupy each of the four quadrants formed by the cross. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, itself surrounded by a rope or cable border near the coin's irregular periphery. No legend is present. |

| 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.
