| Obverse description | Stylised crowned bust of a bearded king facing right, rendered in the schematic manner characteristic of Norwegian medieval hammered coinage. The crown is depicted in a simplified, angular form atop the royal effigy. A crescent device appears to the right of the bust, likely serving as a mint or moneyer mark. The design is executed in low relief with bold, abstract lines typical of 13th-century Scandinavian bracteate technique. |
