Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Otto I, also known as Otto the Great, who was the King of Germany and Holy Roman Emperor from 936 to 973. He was a powerful ruler who expanded the Holy Roman Empire and played a significant role in shaping European history. The coin's design and issuance during his reign reflect the economic and political influence of the Holy Roman Empire during that time.
