Additional information

Norwegian coinage of this period was produced under a decentralized system in which several mints operated simultaneously — Bergen, Nidaros, and Hamar among them — with little standardization of weight or die execution. The fraction itself reflects a monetary environment where small-denomination silver was genuinely needed for everyday petty exchange, not ceremonial or fiscal use.

Skaare 190 falls within the long anonymous coinage phase preceding the more disciplined issues of Håkon IV's later reign.
