Additional information

Produced during the reign of Sverre Sigurdsson, whose seizure of the Norwegian throne triggered a civil conflict that would drag on for decades. Sverre's mints operated under severe logistical pressure — his regime spent most of its existence in open warfare against the Baglers, a Church-backed faction, and coin production was sporadic at best. Skaare 146 is among the thinner, more crudely struck issues of this period, a direct consequence of improvised minting rather than royal indifference.
