Brakteat minted by Erik Valkendorf, archbishop of Nidaros, now Trondheim.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Blaffert - Erik Valkendorf coin is that it features a unique design element - a small cross on the reverse side, which is believed to represent the Archbishop's mitre. This small detail signifies the coin's connection to the Archbishopric of Nidaros and sets it apart from other coins of the time.
