| Obverse description | Crowned frontal effigy of King Sverre within a beaded inner circle, rendered in the flat, linear style typical of medieval Norwegian hammered coinage. The bust is depicted facing, with a crown clearly delineated atop the head. A circular legend runs between the inner ring and a secondary beaded border at the rim, enclosing the effigy. |
