| Obverse description | Crowned royal bust facing front, rendered in low relief in the medieval Scandinavian bracteate style. The effigy is schematically depicted with a prominent crown surmounting the head, the facial features rendered in a simplified, stylized manner characteristic of late 14th-century Norwegian coinage. The entire design is enclosed within a raised solid ring border, set against a plain, slightly concave field typical of the bracteate technique. |

| Reverse description | As a bracteate, the reverse displays only a faint incuse mirror impression of the obverse design, with no independent design or inscription, consistent with the single-die hammered bracteate production technique employed for Norwegian half-pennings of this period. |
