| Obverse description | Central field features a bold equal-armed cross with expanded terminals, enclosed within a beaded inner circle. The surrounding annular border is filled with the Latin legend reading + OTTO MAGNA, rendered in irregular hammered characters. The field between the inner beaded circle and the outer toothed rim displays additional decorative elements typical of Ottonian coinage. The overall style is characteristic of late 10th-century German episcopal and royal deniers, with a strongly schematic, flat-relief treatment of the cross motif. |
