| Beschrijving voorzijde | A lion passant regardant occupies the central field, its body oriented to the right with the head turned back to face the viewer. A star appears in the upper field above the lion, while a serpentine or snake-like creature is depicted in the lower field beneath it. The entire design is contained within a solid inner ring. The style is characteristic of medieval Norwegian hammered coinage of the early 13th century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Norway's coinage in the early thirteenth century was produced under conditions that make attribution deeply uncertain — thin, irregularly shaped bracteate-style pieces struck at multiple sites with inconsistent supervision. Skaare 211 falls within the long reign of Haakon Haakonsson (1217–1263), whose reign saw the first serious effort to systematize Norwegian minting after decades of civil war between rival factions known as the Birkebeiner and Baglers had left the monetary supply fragmented and regionally inconsistent.
The quarter penning denomination was among the smallest units struck, intended for petty transactions in a largely agricultural economy with limited coin penetration outside towns.
