Comment
Anonymus brakteat minted during the reign of Håkon Håkonsson. The M probably stands for Marstrand, which is now in Sweden.Interesting fact
The ¼ Penning coin was used in Norway during the Middle Ages and was equivalent to one-fourth of a penny. The coin was made of silver and had a distinctive design, featuring a cross on one side and a crown on the other. The coin was issued by King Haakon IV in the 13th century, and it remained in circulation until the 14th century. Despite its small denomination, the ¼ Penning coin was an important part of the Norwegian economy at the time, and it is now a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
