| Obverse description | Helmeted effigy of the king facing left, depicted in a schematic Viking-influenced style typical of eleventh-century Danish coinage. The figure holds a scepter upright before him, rendered in bold, somewhat crude relief characteristic of hammered medieval pennings. A partial Latin legend surrounds the design, partially visible along the coin's irregular periphery. The field shows the rough, uneven surface typical of hand-struck silver issues of this period. |
