Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Holy Roman Empire. Otto II and Otto III were both emperors during this time, and their reigns were marked by power struggles and conflicts with the Church and other neighboring kingdoms. Despite these challenges, the coinage of the time remained consistent and continued to be minted in silver, as it had been for centuries. This coin is a testament to the resilience and endurance of the Holy Roman Empire during a period of great change and upheaval.
