| Beschrijving voorzijde | Crowned royal effigy facing full-front, rendered in the crude bracteate-influenced style typical of mid-12th-century Norwegian coinage. The bust is depicted frontally with a simple crown or diadem atop the head, and a small cross motif appears on each side of the figure. The die-work is bold but schematic, with minimal detail on the facial features, consistent with the primitive hammered technique of the period. No legend is present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Norway's mid-twelfth century coinage was produced under highly unusual circumstances: Sigurd II Munn and Øystein II ruled simultaneously as co-kings during a period of dynastic fragmentation that would eventually spiral into nearly a century of civil war. This issue belongs to that unstable interregnum before the conflict fully ignited.
Brekke's classification places this among the scarcest of the joint-reign types. Few Norwegian mints of the period have been conclusively identified, and attribution of specific dies to Bergen, Hamar, or Nidaros remains contested among Scandinavian numismatists.
