| Obverse description | Crowned effigy of Duke Håkon Magnusson facing right, positioned at the centre of the coin. The bust is enclosed within an inner beaded circle, with the legend running in the annular space between the inner and outer beaded circles along the rim. The style is characteristic of late 13th-century Norwegian hammered coinage, with bold, schematic rendering of the royal regalia. |

| Reverse description | A lily cross occupies the central field, contained within an inner beaded circle.
