Interesting fact
The ¼ Penning coin from Norway, made of silver and weighing 0.07g, is interesting because it was used during the reign of King Sverre Sigurdsson, who ruled Norway from 1184 to 1202. Sverre was a powerful king who played a significant role in Norwegian history, and his reign saw the introduction of a new coinage system, which included the ¼ Penning coin. This coin was an important part of everyday transactions and trade during that time and is now a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
