| Obverse description | Single-sided bracteate of irregular flan struck with a Gothic capital letter K in high relief, enclosed within a plain solid ring or inner circle. The letter K is rendered in a bold, angular medieval script characteristic of Norwegian hammered coinage of the 13th century, interpreted as an initial for Konghelle, the probable mint of issue. The surrounding field is plain and unadorned, and the flan exhibits the typical irregular, jagged edge associated with cut bracteate fractions of this period. |

| Reverse description | As a bracteate, the reverse shows the incuse mirror image of the obverse design, with the letter K appearing in intaglio relief against a plain, unworked field. The surface displays the characteristic flat, thin fabric typical of hammered bracteate fractions, with no additional design elements or legends present. |
