Comment
Anonymus coin minted during the early reign of Olav Kyrre (1067-1093AD).Interesting fact
The 1 Penning coin was minted during the reign of King Olaf III, also known as Olaf the Peaceful, who ruled Norway from 1067 to 1093. During his reign, Olaf III focused on strengthening the Norwegian economy and trade, which led to the introduction of a new coinage system that included the 1 Penning coin. The coin was made of silver and had a unique design, featuring a cross on one side and the king's name on the other. The 1 Penning coin was widely used in trade and commerce throughout Norway and was also used as a means of payment for taxes and other debts. Today, the 1 Penning ND (1065-1080) coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists and historians interested in medieval Norwegian currency.
