Anonymus brakteat minted during thereign of Olav Håkonson.Interesting fact
The ½ Penning coin from Norway, made of silver, is interesting because it was used as a means of payment during the Middle Ages, specifically during the reign of King Haakon VI Magnusson (1350-1380). It was an important coin for trade and commerce during that time, and its silver content made it a valuable and reliable form of currency.
