Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of two consecutive rulers, Otto I and Otto II, which is reflected in the coin's design. The obverse side features the image of Otto I, while the reverse side features the image of Otto II. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was minted during a time when two rulers shared the throne, making it a unique piece of numismatic history.
