| Beschrijving keerzijde | A plain cross centered on the field, dividing the reverse into four quadrants, each containing a pair of pellets arranged symmetrically at the angles. The cross and pellet ornaments are boldly struck and clearly defined within a beaded inner circle, with the imperial legend distributed around the periphery. The design is characteristic of Ottonian imperial coinage, combining ecclesiastical and royal iconography in a simple but authoritative composition. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Willigis served as Archbishop of Mainz from 975 to 1011 and was one of the most powerful ecclesiastical figures in the Ottonian Reich — he crowned Otto III at Aachen in 983 when the boy was barely three years old, then acted as regent alongside Empress Theophanu. The joint authority implied by a coin bearing both names is not ceremonial flattery; it reflects the genuine political weight Willigis carried during Otto's minority and into his reign.
Otto III died in Italy in January 1002, fixing the terminus of this issue precisely.
