| Obverse description | Stylized frontal bust of King Magnus Lagabøte within a beaded inner circle, rendered in the crude but expressive manner typical of medieval Norwegian hammered coinage. The royal effigy is depicted facing, with regal attributes suggesting crown or diadem. A circumscribed legend in Latin runs between the beaded inner circle and a beaded outer rim, identifying the monarch by name and title. |

| Obverse lettering | MAGN REX NORVEGIE (Translation: Magnus, King of Norway) |
| Reverse description | A plain cross occupies the central field, enclosed within a beaded inner circle characteristic of medieval Norwegian penny coinage. The cross arms extend toward the beaded ring, dividing the inner field into four quarters. A Latin devotional legend encircles the design between the beaded inner circle and the beaded outer rim, invoking a blessing upon the name of the Lord in the tradition of ecclesiastically-influenced medieval Scandinavian coinage. |
