| Obverse description | Central field features the Norwegian royal coat of arms: a crowned heraldic shield bearing the lion rampant guardant holding an axe, set against a vertically lined background. A royal crown surmounts the shield. The royal cipher of Oscar II is divided by the shield, with the cursive Gothic initial 'O' to the left and the Roman numeral 'II' to the right, both rendered in an ornate script. No peripheral legend appears; the design fills the field with bold, high-relief elements typical of late 19th-century Scandinavian coinage. |
