Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Otto III, who was the Holy Roman Emperor from 983 to 1002. Despite being the ruler of the Holy Roman Empire, Otto III was only a child when he ascended to the throne, and his reign was marked by a regency period where his mother, Theophanu, acted as regent on his behalf. This coin was likely minted during this regency period, and its design and production may have been overseen by Theophanu or her representatives.
