| Obverse lettering | + OTTO DI GA REX (Translation: Otto, king by God`s grace.) |
| Reverse description | A stylized church or cathedral facade rendered in the Ottonian architectural convention, depicted frontally with a central tower or portal flanked by lateral elements, all contained within a beaded inner circle. The structure, representing the ecclesiastical identity of the Strasbourg mint, is boldly struck in high relief against a flat field. A circular Latin legend, split by a cross at the beginning, runs around the periphery between the beaded circle and the coin's edge, identifying the mint city. The overall design reflects the standard Ottonian church-type reverse common to episcopal mint issues of the late 10th and early 11th centuries. |
