| Obverse description | Crude effigy of the king in profile facing left, depicted wearing a pointed helmet and holding a sceptre, rendered in the angular hammered style typical of early medieval Scandinavian coinage. The bust is surrounded by a Latin legend reading ONLAF RX NORMANORV, identifying the ruler as Olav, King of Norway. A beaded inner circle frames the central design, serving as the border between the effigy and the circumscribed legend. |
