| Reverse description | Central field displays a large quartered shield bearing the arms associated with Saint Olav — featuring crosses and the emblems of the Archbishopric of Nidaros — set within a beaded inner circle. The shield is rendered in bold relief typical of hammered medieval coinage. The surrounding circular Latin legend reads SANCTVS OLAWS REX NORVEG, invoking Saint Olav as King of Norway, the patron saint of the realm. The coin exhibits an irregular flan with uneven strike pressure, consistent with hand-hammered production. A small triangular ornament or stop appears at the top of the legend. |
