| Reverse description | Facing schematic bust of a ruler or regal figure within a beaded inner circle, rendered in the stylised Ottonian manner with large eye, prominent nose, and a diadem or crown indicated above the head. The legend surrounds the bust in the outer field. The crude but expressive portraiture is typical of late tenth-century German hammered deniers associated with the joint regency of Otto III and his grandmother Adelaide. |
