Comment
Anonymus brakteat minted during the reign of Håkon Håkonsson. The letter N is probably for Nidaros, now Trondheim.Interesting fact
The ¼ Penning coin from Norway, made of silver, is interesting because it was used during the reign of King Haakon IV (1205-1260) and features a unique design, with a crowned lion on one side and a cross on the other. It was also used as a trade coin in the Baltic region, highlighting Norway's importance in medieval trade and commerce.
