| Obverse description | A basilisk displayed in profile to the right, wings spread and head raised upward in a heraldic posture. The creature is rendered in low relief consistent with hammered bracteate technique. The design is enclosed within a solid raised ring border. The overall execution reflects the stylized, emblematic artistry characteristic of Norwegian medieval coinage of the early 13th century. |
