| Obverse description | Bare-headed effigy of King Oscar I facing right, rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair and sideburns. The royal legend encircles the upper field, reading OSCAR NORGES SVER. G. OG V. KONGE., denoting his titles as King of Norway, Sweden, Goths and Wends. Below the bust, flanked by two small rosette stops, the royal motto RET OG SANDHED (Justice and Truth) is inscribed along the lower legend arc. The entire design is bordered by a prominent toothed rim. |

Crossed mining hammers appear below the shield, dividing the date. The denomination is inscribed above the arms, and the fineness and value notations appear in the lower field. A toothed border frames the entire reverse design. |
