Comment
The emperor's grandmother provided guardianship until Otto III came of age in 995.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a rare depiction of a female ruler, Adelaide, on a Holy Roman Empire coin. Adelaide was the mother of Otto III and served as regent during his minority, and her presence on the coin highlights her significant role in the political and social landscape of the time.
