| Obverse description | The obverse displays the royal name ODDO arranged in a cross-shaped monogram composition, with the letters distributed across the four arms of an implied cross. The legend reads S ODDO RE A, referencing King Otto, with the initial letter S at the top and A at the base forming the vertical axis. The lettering is boldly struck in relief in a characteristic Ottonian epigraphic style, with angular, irregular letterforms typical of late 10th-century hammered coinage. The field is plain, and the coin's flan shows the characteristic irregular edges of a hand-struck medieval denier. |
