| Obverse description | Crude bust of the king facing left, rendered in a primitive Viking-Age hammered style typical of early Norwegian coinage. The effigy is depicted with rudimentary facial features and suggested drapery on the shoulders. A circular legend in uncial Latin characters runs around the bust, and a beaded inner ring frames the design along the rim. |
