The ½ Penning coin was minted during the reign of King Sigurd II of Norway (1150-1170), and it features an interesting design element - a stylized depiction of a Viking longship. The longship was an important symbol of Norwegian culture and maritime prowess during the Viking Age, and its inclusion on the coin reflects the country's rich history and heritage.
