Comment
Imitation of Ottonian denarii from Cologne (see example below). Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great religious and political change in Europe. The Bishopric of Osnabrück was a significant religious institution in the German States during the Middle Ages, and the coin's minting during this period reflects the growing influence of the Church in the region. Additionally, the use of silver in the coin's production indicates the importance of trade and commerce in the region during this time.
