| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central motif consists of a prominent long cross with double-bar arms extending nearly to the coin's edge, dividing the field into four quadrants each containing a decorative symbol or floral motif, consistent with the Bergen Mint's ecclesiastical coinage style of the period. The surrounding legend, rendered in uncial characters, reads BERG CRVX SCA IHV XPI, invoking Bergen and the Holy Cross of Jesus Christ. The flan is irregular and slightly clipped, characteristic of hammered half-pennies of this era. The relief is bold but uneven, reflecting hand-striking techniques typical of late medieval Norwegian mints. |

Håkon V moved the Norwegian capital from Bergen to Oslo in 1299, the same year this issue begins — a shift that gradually eroded Bergen's administrative primacy while the city remained a commercial powerhouse under Hanseatic influence. Whether these halves were struck before or after the court's departure is unresolved, but the mint at Bergen continued operating independently of the new capital throughout this period.
Brekke 37.2 distinguishes this from closely related types by die characteristics that remain a subject of specialist debate. At 0.59g, these were already pushing the lower boundary of practical silver coinage.
