1/4 Penning

Norwegian coinage of the thirteenth century was produced under conditions of extreme fragmentation — small, thin bracteate-style pieces struck at regional mints with inconsistent control from the crown. The quarter penning sits at the lowest practical denomination of this system, likely circulating in local markets where even small fractions of silver carried meaningful purchasing power.

Skaare's classification remains the authoritative reference for medieval Norwegian numismatics, though attribution within his numbered sequence often relies on find context as much as typology, given how closely related dies from this period can appear.
