Comment
Otto William was count of Mâcon, Nevers, and Burgundy.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it features the effigies of both King Robert II and Otto William, who were co-rulers of the County of Mâcon in the late 10th century. This is a unique feature, as most coins from this time period only feature a single ruler.
