Comment
Second minting series of Eirik Magnusson, 1285-1290 AD.Interesting fact
The 1 Penning coin from Norway, minted during Eirik Magnusson's second minting period (1285-1290), features a unique design element - a small cross on the reverse side, which was added to the coin's design to indicate that it was minted during the reign of King Eric II. This small cross is not found on other coins from the same period, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
