1 Hvid - Gaute Ivarsson

Gaute Ivarsson served as Archbishop of Nidaros from 1474 until his death in 1510, the longest episcopate of any medieval Norwegian archbishop. The hvid was a small-denomination silver struck across Scandinavian ecclesiastical and royal mints from roughly the mid-fifteenth century — the name derives from the Low German word for "white," a reference to the pale silver wash applied to billon issues. Nidaros, seated at Trondheim, held the right to strike coin as a privilege of the archiepiscopal see, one of only a handful of ecclesiastical minting authorities in the medieval Norwegian realm.

Schive XIV:34 is among the thinner-documented entries in Norwegian medieval numismatics, with surviving examples rare enough that die studies remain incomplete.
