| Obverse description | Crowned royal bust facing right, depicted in a schematic, angular style characteristic of mid-eleventh-century Norwegian coinage. The effigy is rendered with a prominent arched crown surmounted by a cross, flanked by runic or quasi-runic characters in the surrounding field. A sceptre or staff appears to the right of the bust. The overall composition reflects the influence of Anglo-Saxon die-cutting traditions, with pellets and stylised decorative elements filling the field. |

| Reverse description | A bold voided long cross divides the reverse field into four quarters, each containing a small pellet or annulet, enclosed within an inner circle. A runic marginal legend surrounds the inner circle in a continuous band. The design closely follows contemporary Anglo-Scandinavian penny prototypes, with the cross extending to the inner border. The hammered flan exhibits characteristic irregular edges and slight surface undulation. |
