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 unique combination of motifs on its obverse and reverse sides. The obverse side bears the image of Otto III and Adelaide, while the reverse side features a temple with the inscription "DI GRA REX," which means "By the grace of God, king." This blend of religious and royal symbols reflects the complex political and religious landscape of the Holy Roman Empire during the 10th century.
