Comments
Unknown mint in Mosan region.
This type imitated the pfennig of Emperor Otto I (962-973) and Bishop Bruno of Cologne (952-965), and hence can be dated to after 962. Possibly the lettering in the angles of the cross reverse is a degenerate form of the name BRVNO which appears on the reverse of those pfennigs.
