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 series of reforms aimed at strengthening the Norwegian economy and improving the lives of his people. The introduction of the 1 Penning coin, which was made of silver and had a standardized design, was part of these reforms. The coin was used widely in trade and commerce throughout Norway and was an important step in the development of the country's monetary system.
