Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique blend of both Otto IV and Otto V, with the obverse side bearing the image of Otto IV, while the reverse side features Otto V. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was issued during a period of co-rule between two rulers, which was a common practice in medieval Europe.
