| Obverse description | Christ enthroned facing, depicted frontally in a stylized Romanesque manner, wearing a nimbus and robes with a segmented collar. The figure holds the arms outward in a gesture of benediction or authority, with the body rendered in a flat, hieratic style typical of 11th-century Scandinavian coinage. A beaded inner circle partially frames the design, with abbreviated Latin legend distributed around the field. |

| Reverse description | A long voided cross with arms extending to the inner circle, terminating in triple-crescent tips at each end, dividing the surrounding legend into four segments. The cross is centrally positioned with a small pellet at the intersection. The design is executed in a bold, hammered style characteristic of Viking-Age Danish coinage, with the moneyer's name and mint dispersed in the four quadrants of the legend. |
