| Beschrijving voorzijde | Stylised royal crown rendered in low relief at the centre of the field, executed in a schematic, abstracted medieval idiom. The crown features a broad base band surmounted by upward-projecting fleurs or points, with a solid annular ring encircling the entire motif. The design is anonymous, bearing no legend or inscription, consistent with Norwegian bracteate coinage of the mid-thirteenth century. The flan is thin and irregular, with characteristic octagonal clipping. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Incuse mirror image of the obverse crown design, as is typical of bracteate coinage struck from a single die on a thin silver flan. The reverse shows the corresponding negative impression of the stylised crown motif, with surface patination and flan irregularities visible across the field. This anonymous bracteate was issued during the reign of Magnus Lagabøte (Magnus VI, r. 1263–1280), with no legend or mint mark present. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Norway's mid-thirteenth-century coinage was produced under Håkon Håkonsson's successors during a period when the kingdom was consolidating its North Atlantic holdings — the Hebrides, Iceland, and Greenland all fell within the Norwegian sphere. At 0.13 g, these fractional pennies represent the smallest denomination in practical circulation, struck to facilitate small-scale trade in a monetizing economy that was still largely dependent on weighed bullion just decades earlier.
