| Obverse description | Central shield bearing a large ornate cross, the cross arms dividing the field and extending toward the coin's periphery. The shield is enclosed within an inner beaded circle, with a second beaded ring running along the rim. The legend, rendered in Gothic uncial characters, is inscribed in the annular space between the two beaded rings, reading IOhS DEI G R REX NORW, identifying the issuer as Hans, by the grace of God, King of Norway. The overall design is characteristic of late medieval Scandinavian hammered coinage, with irregularity in the flan consistent with hand-struck production. |

| Reverse description | Central shield displaying the Norwegian lion rampant, armed with a halberd and facing sinister, executed in the bold, stylised manner typical of late 15th-century Scandinavian heraldic coinage. The shield is surrounded by an inner beaded circle, with a second beaded ring encircling the outer edge of the coin. The mint legend, in Gothic uncial script, runs in the annular space between the two beaded borders, reading mOnET nOVA BERGEnS, identifying this as new coinage of Bergen. The reverse composition is well-centred within the limitations of the hammered flan. |
