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 implemented a number of reforms, including the introduction of a new coinage system that replaced the old system of bartering with silver and other precious metals. The 1 Penning coin was part of this new system and was used as a standard unit of currency throughout Norway. It's worth noting that the coin's design and composition have not been verified, and it's possible that it may not be a genuine coin. If you have any doubts, it's always best to consult with a numismatic expert or a reputable coin dealer to ensure authenticity.
