| Obverse description | Two schematic facing busts depicted side by side in crude, primitive relief, representing the co-rulers Sigurd Jorsalfare and Øystein Magnusson. Each bust is rendered in a highly stylised Viking-era manner, with rounded pellet-like eyes and arched brow lines. The heads are separated by a vertical raised line dividing the field, with small pellets scattered around the busts as ornamental fillers. No legend is present; the design relies entirely on the figural motif. The flan is thin, irregularly shaped, and exhibits characteristic hammer-struck distortion typical of early Norwegian medieval coinage. |
