| Obverse description | Crude hammered obverse featuring a rudimentary crowned or helmeted royal bust facing right, rendered in the coarse Anglo-Scandinavian style typical of late 11th-century Norwegian coinage. The effigy is executed in low relief with minimal detail, reflecting the primitive die-cutting techniques of the period. The surrounding Latin legend reads +MAGNVS REX NOR, identifying the issuing authority as King Magnus of Norway. The flan is irregular in shape and shows uneven strike distribution consistent with hand-hammered production. The overall style closely follows contemporary Anglo-Saxon and Danish penny prototypes. |
