Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and social change in the Holy Roman Empire. Otto II and Otto III were both powerful emperors who ruled during a period of expansion and reform, and the coinage of this era reflects the shifting political and economic landscape of the time. The use of silver in the coin's minting also speaks to the growing influence of trade and commerce in the empire during this period.
