Interesting fact
The ¼ Penning coin was used during the reign of King Sverre Sigurdsson, who ruled Norway from 1184 to 1202. The coin features a unique design, with a crowned king on one side and a lion on the other. The lion is believed to represent the Norwegian kingdom's coat of arms, which was adopted during King Sverre's reign. The use of silver in the coin's minting was also significant, as it reflected the wealth and prosperity of Norway during this period.
