The ½ Penning coin was minted during the reign of King Sigurd I Magnusson, who ruled Norway from 1103 to 1130. The coin features a unique design, with a crowned king on one side and a cross on the other, symbolizing the king's power and the country's Christian faith. The use of silver in the coin's minting process was significant, as it reflected the wealth and prosperity of Norway during this period. Despite being a standard circulation coin, the ½ Penning ND (1105-1130) is now a rare and valuable collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists and historians.
