Anonymus brakteat minted during the reign of Sverre Sigurdsson.Interesting fact
The ¼ Penning coin was used in Norway during the Middle Ages and was equivalent to one-fourth of a Norwegian penning, which was the standard unit of currency at the time. The coin was made of silver and had a distinctive design that featured a cross on one side and the king's name on the other. The coin was issued by King Sverre Sigurdsson, who ruled Norway from 1170 to 1205, and it was used throughout his reign. Despite its small size, the ¼ Penning coin played an important role in the economy of Norway during this period, as it was widely used for everyday transactions and was a symbol of the country's economic growth and stability.
