| Reverse description | A bold plain cross pattée divides the reverse field into four quadrants, each containing small decorative or heraldic elements consistent with Norwegian royal coinage of the late 13th and early 14th centuries. The cross, a prominent Christian symbol, occupies the full diameter of the flan and is characteristic of the Crusader-influenced iconography prevalent on Scandinavian medieval pennies. The surrounding legend in uncial Latin script references the Cross of Christ, underscoring the religious devotion expressed on royal Norwegian issues. The hammered flan shows the typical irregular outline and die wear associated with hand-struck medieval coinage. |
