Interesting fact

The ¼ Penning coin from Norway, made of silver, is interesting because it was used as a means of payment during the medieval period, specifically during the reign of King Haakon IV (1205-1260). 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.
