| Obverse description | Facing bust of an archbishop in high relief at center, depicted frontally with stylized facial features including wide-set eyes and a broad nose. The figure wears a tall, pointed episcopal mitre rising prominently above the head, with a horizontal band visible at its base. The design is rendered in the crude but vigorous style characteristic of Norwegian medieval bracteate coinage, struck on a thin, irregularly shaped flan with the image in convex relief. No legend or inscription is present. |

| Additional information |
Jon Raude ("Jon the Red") served as Archbishop of Nidaros from 1268 to 1282, a tenure defined almost entirely by his ferocious conflict with the Norwegian crown. His dispute with Magnus Lagabøte over ecclesiastical jurisdiction and church property rights was among the most aggressive power struggles between secular and clerical authority in medieval Scandinavian history — Raude was eventually forced into exile in 1282, dying abroad the same year. The archbishopric's right to strike its own coinage was itself a privilege extracted through precisely these kinds of jurisdictional fights.
