| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field displays a plain cross with splayed arms within a beaded inner circle, a standard type for Capetian-era feudal deniers. The cross divides the inner field into four quadrants, each containing a small pellet or annulet as decorative fill. The surrounding circular Latin legend reads + ROTBERTVS R (King Robert), referencing the royal authority of Robert II of France, and is separated from the central cross by the inner beaded border. The entire design is struck in low relief on an irregular hammered flan consistent with late tenth- to early eleventh-century minting practice. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Otto William held Mâcon through his first wife Ermentrude, and when Hugh Capet's son Robert II was crowned co-king in 987, the count found himself in an awkward position — powerful enough to strike coinage in association with the reigning Capetian, yet never fully absorbed into the royal orbit. This joint attribution is unusual: most comital deniers of the period either assert independence or submit entirely to royal nomenclature. The pairing here reflects a brief political equilibrium that collapsed after Otto William's confrontation with Robert II over the Burgundian succession in 1002.
