Obverse lettering ERIK MAGN REX NORVEG
(Translation: Erik Magnusson, king of Norway)
Reverse description A bold floriated cross occupies the central field, its four arms each terminating in fleur-de-lis finials, with a lily motif filling each quadrant between the arms — a form characteristic of hammered medieval ecclesiastical coinage. The cross device is contained within an inner beaded ring, around which the devotional legend is inscribed. A second beaded ring at the rim borders the entire design.
