Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Otto III, who was the Holy Roman Emperor from 996 to 1002. He was only 16 years old when he ascended to the throne, making him one of the youngest rulers in European history. Despite his young age, Otto III proved to be a capable and influential leader, known for his military campaigns and his efforts to strengthen the Holy Roman Empire. The coin's design and minting can be attributed to his efforts to promote the empire's economy and stability during his reign.
