| Obverse description | Central plain cross with splayed arms enclosed within a plain inner circle, surrounded by a beaded border; small pellets or stars ornament the four quadrants between the cross arms. The coin exhibits the irregular, roughly polygonal flan typical of medieval Norwegian hammered coinage. No legend present. The overall design is stark and symbolic, consistent with late 12th-century Scandinavian ecclesiastical-influenced numismatic style. |

| Reverse description | Central plain cross with splayed arms set within a plain inner circle, flanked by small pellet ornaments in each quadrant. The design is enclosed by a beaded outer border following the irregular outline of the flan. The relief is slightly worn but the cross motif remains clearly defined. No inscription or legend appears on the reverse, consistent with the anonymous minor coinage of medieval Norway. |
