Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Otto II, who was the Holy Roman Emperor from 967 to 983 and then again from 984 to 987. During his reign, Otto II faced several challenges, including conflicts with the Church and struggles to maintain the unity of the Carolingian Empire, which had been established by his father, Otto I. Despite these challenges, Otto II was able to maintain his power and influence, and his coinage, such as this denier, remains an important part of his legacy.
