| Obverse description | Predominantly blue on multicoloured underprint, with intricate guilloche patterning. The central vignette presents Ragnheiður Jónsdóttir (1646–1715), third wife of Bishop Gísli Þorláksson, as the primary portrait, while the upper corner carries smaller portrait vignettes of the bishop alongside his two former wives, Gróa Þorleifsdóttir and Ingibjörg Benediktsdóttir. The denomination is rendered in a stylised embroidery motif, evoking Ragnheiður's celebrated needlework tradition. |
