Comment
Brakteat minted during the reign of Sverre SigurdssonInteresting fact
The ¼ Penning coin from Norway, made of silver, is interesting because it was used during the reign of King Sverre Sigurdsson, who was a prominent figure in Norwegian history. He was known for his military campaigns and his efforts to unify Norway under a single ruler. The coin's design likely reflects the king's influence and power during this time period.
