| Obverse description | Stylized effigy of the king in profile facing left, depicted holding a sceptre, rendered in the crude yet expressive Viking-Age hammered style typical of 11th-century Norwegian coinage. The royal bust is set within a beaded inner ring, with an encircling inscription in Latin uncial lettering occupying the outer field. The portrait exhibits the conventional schematic treatment characteristic of Scandinavian pennings of this period, with minimal anatomical detail but clear regal attributes. |

| Reverse description | A double-lined cross with plain arms, set within a solid ring dividing the field, with an encircling inscription in Latin uncial lettering filling the outer annular zone. A beaded ring runs along the rim, framing the entire design. The cross type is characteristic of Anglo-Scandinavian monetary conventions of the late 11th century, reflecting the strong influence of English coinage on contemporary Norwegian pennings. |
