| Obverse description | Facing crowned royal effigy, the king depicted in frontal bust within a beaded inner circle. The crown is rendered with stylized points, and the facial features, though crudely executed in the medieval hammered tradition, are discernible. The field shows typical irregularities consistent with hand-struck medieval coinage of 14th-century Norway. |

| Reverse description | A lion passant to the right displayed on a shield, serving as the royal arms of Norway. The device is boldly struck in low relief within the irregular flan, with a beaded border visible along portions of the periphery. The overall execution is characteristic of Norwegian medieval penning coinage of the reign of Magnus VII Eriksson. |
