| Obverse description | Crude hammered effigy of a king in profile facing left, rendered in the Anglo-Saxon pennying tradition. The bust is unadorned and stylised, with the legend encircling the portrait within a beaded inner ring. The inscription, reading + CNVTA REX ANCLO, attributes the coin to Cnut, King of England, reflecting the deliberate imitative character of this Norwegian issue. |
