Denier - Otto III

Otto III ruled Lower Bavaria during a period of repeated dynastic partition — the Wittelsbach holdings were divided and reunited multiple times across the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries, making precise attribution of undated bracteate-era deniers genuinely difficult. The Em Reg#246 reference places this squarely within the regional coinage reorganized after the 1294 division that separated Lower Bavaria from the Palatinate line. These small silver pieces circulated alongside heavier Bavarian pfennigs in a monetary environment where local ecclesiastical and secular lords each struck competing issues.
