| Obverse description | Crude bust of the king facing right, wearing a pointed helmet and holding a sceptre in the right hand. The effigy is rendered in the simplified Anglo-Scandinavian style typical of eleventh-century Norwegian coinage. A peripheral legend encircles the bust within the beaded or linear border. |

| Reverse description | A double-lined voided cross divides the field into four quarters, each containing a crescent or pellet ornament. The design is characteristic of Anglo-Saxon-influenced Scandinavian penny coinage of the late eleventh century. A partially legible or entangled peripheral legend, naming the moneyer, encircles the cross within the border. |
