Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique combination of two rulers on its obverse side. Burchard III, the Duke of Swabia, is depicted on the left side of the coin, while Emperor Otto I is depicted on the right side. This dual representation symbolizes the political alliance between the Duchy of Swabia and the Holy Roman Empire during that time period.
