| Obverse description | Crude bust of the king facing right, wearing a rounded helmet with flowing hair visible beneath; the right hand raises a sceptre. A partially legible or entirely illegible inscription runs above the effigy in the field, consistent with the rough striking quality typical of late 11th-century Norwegian hammered coinage. |

| Reverse description | A double-lined cross occupies the centre of the reverse, enclosed within a solid inner ring; a circular legend surrounds the ring, bearing the name of the mint master. The execution is characteristic of the primitive die-cutting of Norwegian pennings of the Olav Kyrre period, with uneven letter spacing and variable depth of strike. |
