| Additional information |
Håkon Håkonsson's reign saw Norway emerge from decades of civil war under a consolidated royal authority, and his coinage program was part of a deliberate effort to regularize royal administration. The quarter penning is among the smallest denominations struck under his name — a fraction of an already modest unit, produced for petty transactions at a time when Norwegian silver coinage was still finding its administrative footing. Skaare 164 is sparsely documented in auction records, and surviving examples in any condition are genuinely scarce.
