| Obverse lettering | HARALD REX NAR (Translation: Harald, King of Norway) |
| Reverse description | A voided or outlined cross with expanded terminals divides the reverse field into four quarters; three pellets are placed in the upper-right quarter and three pellets in the lower-left quarter, creating a diagonal symmetry. The cross is contained within an inner circle. A surrounding legend, rendered in runic characters, encircles the entire design but remains largely illegible due to the crude die-cutting and the irregular fabric of this hammered issue. The overall execution reflects the rudimentary minting practices of eleventh-century Norway. |
