| Obverse description | High-relief bare-headed effigy of King Olav V facing left, modelled with pronounced sculptural depth accentuating the facial features, hair rendered in fine parallel striations. The legend OLAV·V·R is inscribed vertically along the right field in incuse lettering. The portrait fills the flan with considerable prominence, characteristic of a pattern trial intended to assess relief height. No inner border is present. |
