| Obverse description | Stylized bust of the king facing left, holding a sceptre, rendered in the crude Anglo-Saxon-influenced manner typical of eleventh-century Norwegian hammered coinage. A circular inscription in Latin uncial characters surrounds the effigy, with a beaded border encircling the entire design near the rim. The portraiture is schematic rather than naturalistic, consistent with the artistic conventions of the period. |
