Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Penning - Magnus VII Ericson ND (1319-1343) coin from Norway is that it features a unique design element - a small cross on the reverse side, which was added to the coin's design during Magnus VII's reign. This cross was known as the "Magnus cross" and was used on many of the coins issued during his rule. It is believed that the cross was added to the coinage to symbolize Magnus VII's strong Christian faith and to emphasize his role as a protector of the Church.
