| Obverse description | A crowned lion passant rendered in a crude, archaic style occupies the central field, enclosed within a beaded inner ring. The figure is characteristic of the Norwegian royal heraldic lion as used on medieval coinage of the period. The hammered flan results in an irregular outline, and the relief is low and roughly executed. No legend or inscription is present on this side. |

| Reverse description | A single Gothic minuscule letter 'n', serving as the mint mark for Nidaros (modern Trondheim), is displayed prominently in the central field, enclosed within a beaded inner ring. The letterform is boldly rendered in low relief against the flat field. The use of an initial letter as a mint identifier is consistent with Norwegian medieval bracteate-influenced penny coinage of the 14th century. No additional legend surrounds the central device. |
