| Obverse description | Armored and helmeted bust of King Magnus the Good facing left, rendered in the robust Viking-Age hammered style. The effigy displays a conical helmet with a pronounced nasal guard and visible mail or scale armor at the shoulder. A beaded or dotted border frames the portrait, while a circular Latin legend surrounds the central device in the field. The overall die work is characteristic of mid-11th-century Scandinavian coinage, with bold, slightly irregular lettering around the bust. |
