| Reverse description | Central field bearing a shield of arms enclosed within a beaded inner circle, depicting the arms of Norway — a crowned lion rampant sinister holding an axe — rendered in the rough, vigorous style characteristic of hammered provincial coinage. The shield is surrounded by a circular Latin legend naming the mint of Bergen. The flan is irregular and slightly clipped at the edge, consistent with surviving examples of this extremely rare issue. The overall execution is bold and functional, reflecting the utilitarian nature of this small-denomination Bergen Mint emission. |
