| Obverse description | Crowned royal effigy facing full front, the bust rendered in a schematic, low-relief style characteristic of Norwegian medieval bracteate coinage. The crown is depicted with a central finial above the head, and the shoulders are broadly indicated on either side. The entire design is contained within a plain inner ring set against the roughly circular, irregular flan with a beaded or lobed outer border. |

| Reverse description | As a bracteate, the reverse presents the incuse mirror image of the obverse design, showing the faint recessed impression of the crowned bust. The anonymous issue is attributed to the reign of Magnus Lagabøte (Magnus VI, r. 1263–1280), struck without inscriptions or identifying legend, consistent with the anonymous bracteate coinage of thirteenth-century Norway catalogued by Skaare. |
