1/4 Penning

Norway's fractional silver issues of the 1260s were produced under Håkon Håkonsson's successor Magnus Lagabøte, whose reign brought the first systematic codification of Norwegian law. The quarter penning sits at the extreme low end of the medieval Norwegian denomination structure, struck in silver so debased by this period that the distinction between billon and silver is largely academic.

Skaare 220 is among the more elusive of the mid-thirteenth century Norwegian types, with surviving examples almost entirely drawn from hoard finds rather than individual losses.
