| Reverse description | Bust of King Otto I facing left, depicted in profile with a helmet or diadem adorned with pellets, and wearing a draped, decorated mantle. The facial features are rendered in the stylized Ottonian manner, with a prominent eye, a beaded beard, and visible drapery at the shoulder. The bust is contained within a beaded inner circle, with the surrounding legend reading OTTO REX PACIFICVS in uncial script. The composition reflects the dynastic iconography of the Ottonian royal coinage, associating the episcopal mint of Strasbourg with royal authority. |
