Brakteat minted by Håkon Håkonsson.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Penning coin from Norway, minted during the reign of Håkon Håkonsson (1220-1263), is that it features a unique design element - a small cross on the reverse side, which was added to the coin's design during Håkon's reign. This cross is believed to have been added to symbolize the Christian faith, which was becoming increasingly important in Norway during this time period.
