Brakteat minted during the reign of Håkon Håkonsson with earl Skule Bårdsson as a regent, during Håkon´s minority rule.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Penning coin from Norway, minted during the minority reign of Håkon Håkonsson (1217-1220), is that it features a unique design element - a small cross on the reverse side, which was added to the coin's design to signify the country's conversion to Christianity. This coin was made of silver and was a standard circulation coin during its time, providing a glimpse into the economic and religious history of Norway during the Middle Ages.
