Comment

Coin minted by anonymus ruler during the reign of Magnus Berrføtt (1093-1103AD).

Interesting fact

The 1 Penning coin was minted during the reign of King Magnus III of Norway, who ruled from 1093 to 1103. The coin features the king's name and title on one side, and a cross on the other, which was a common design element for coins during that time period. The use of silver in the coin's minting was significant, as it reflected the wealth and power of the Norwegian kingdom during that era.
