| Additional information |
Struck during the reign of Sverre Sigurdsson, whose claim to the throne rested on disputed legitimacy — he asserted he was an illegitimate son of King Eystein II, a claim his enemies never accepted. His reign was defined by the Birkebeiner civil war against the Baglers, a church-backed faction, and coin production during this period was fragmented across multiple minting sites with inconsistent output. Skaare 130 falls within a group where attribution to a specific king remains uncertain, the date range straddling at least two reigns.
