| Obverse description | A plain Latin cross divides the field into four quarters, each containing a small raised annulet enclosing a central pellet. The entire design is enclosed within a raised double-line circle, creating a bold and symmetrical composition typical of Norwegian hammered bracteate coinage of the late 12th century. |
