| Additional information |
Norway's fractional silver coinage of this period emerged from a monetary system under strain — the kingdom relied heavily on cut and weighed bullion well into the twelfth century, and small-denomination struck coins were never produced in volumes comparable to contemporary English or continental mints. Skaare 147 belongs to the reign of Sverre Sigurdsson or his immediate successors, a period of near-continuous civil war between the Birkebeiner and Bagler factions that disrupted minting activity across the realm.
Bergen was the primary mint in this period, though attribution of specific dies to individual workshops remains contested.
