Obverse description A short cross pattée with flared arms is centrally displayed within a raised inner circle, the arms extending to meet the ring. The cross is rendered in bold relief characteristic of early 13th-century Danish hammered coinage. A Latin legend surrounds the inner circle in the outer field, reading clockwise from a cross pommée stop. The irregular flan, typical of the period, results in partial legend visibility on some specimens.
