Comment
A number of imperial mints in Lower Lorraine imitated the reverse design of the Cologne denier of Otto (see link below), inserting their own city name in place of COLONI.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier - Otto III (Liège) ND (983-1002) coin is that it was minted during the reign of Emperor Otto III, who was only 14 years old when he ascended to the throne. Despite his young age, Otto III was known for his intelligence and ambition, and he played a significant role in shaping the Holy Roman Empire during his reign.
