| Beschrijving keerzijde | A stylised city gate or wall is depicted in the centre of the field, showing a crenellated tower or gateway with a portcullis motif, flanked by projecting turrets, surmounted by a cross — a conventional representation of the fortified town of Andernach used as a mint identifier. The circumferential Latin legend + ANDERNAKA is contained within a beaded border, identifying the issuing mint. The architectural rendering is executed in the schematic, linear style typical of Ottonian Rhenish pfennigs. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Otto III inherited the throne at age three following his father's sudden death in 983, leaving the empire under a regency — first his mother Theophanu, then his grandmother Adelaide — until he came of age. The Andernach mint was one of several Rhenish mints active under his reign, operating under royal grant in a strategically positioned town along the Rhine. Andernach's minting rights had deep Carolingian roots, and Otto III's issues there continued that administrative continuity rather than marking any new monetary initiative.
Kluge's classification places this among a group of deniers whose city-wall reverse type was closely tied to specific grant-holding ecclesiastical or comital authorities at individual mints.
