Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Denier - Otto III (Tiel) ND (983-1002) coin from the Holy Roman Empire is that it features a unique design element - a small cross pattée on the reverse side, which was a distinctive feature of Otto III's coinage. This cross pattée was used to symbolize the Christian faith and was a departure from the traditional Roman-style designs used on previous coins. This design element not only made the coin visually distinctive but also served as a symbol of the Holy Roman Empire's Christian heritage.
