| Obverse description | Frontal figure of Christ in orans posture with arms raised, holding a sceptre in one hand. A bird is depicted to the left of the figure, likely representing the Holy Spirit or an ecclesiastical symbol. The composition is enclosed by a beaded border near the rim, characteristic of Scandinavian hammered coinage of the late 11th century. |

| Reverse description | A double-lined cross occupies the central field, set within a solid inner ring. The cross divides the field into four equal quarters. A partially legible or wholly illegible Latin inscription encircles the inner ring, typical of contemporary Norwegian regal pennies where legends were often degraded or blundered by local die-cutters. |
