| Beschrijving voorzijde | Crude crowned effigy facing en face, rendered in the schematic Romanesque style characteristic of early Norwegian bracteate coinage. The bust is depicted frontally in low relief on the thin hammered flan, with a simple crown surmounting the head. Five pellets or dots are disposed in the field on each side of the bust, serving as decorative or symbolic filler elements. No legend is present, consistent with the anonymous issues of this period. The overall execution is rudimentary, reflecting the primitive die-cutting techniques of early twelfth-century Norwegian mints. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | As a bracteate, the reverse displays the incuse mirror image of the obverse design, showing the indented impression of the crowned facing bust and flanking pellets pressed through the thin silver flan. The surface is unworked and bears characteristic hammer and flan distortion marks. No independent design or inscription is present on the reverse. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Struck during the reign of Sigurd I Magnusson — "Sigurd the Crusader" — this anonymous issue belongs to a period when Norwegian coinage deliberately carried no royal identifier, a practice rooted in ecclesiastical minting arrangements rather than royal indifference. Sigurd's reign is better remembered for leading the first Scandinavian crusade to the Holy Land in 1107–1110, and coin production during his absence was left largely to local ecclesiastical authorities whose administrative relationship with the crown remained deliberately ambiguous.
At 0.2 g, these pieces were struck on flans so small and irregular that die alignment was essentially incidental.
