| Beschrijving voorzijde | Crude hammered silver penning depicting a crowned royal figure facing right, rendered in a stylised Viking-age manner characteristic of Norwegian medieval coinage. The effigy appears to show a bust or half-length figure with a prominent crown above, holding what may be a sceptre or orb to the right side. The surrounding field is largely flat with a partially legible Latin legend running along the irregular outer border. The overall design reflects the Anglo-Scandinavian stylistic influence prevalent in Norwegian royal coinage of the late 11th century. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Reverse displays a prominent cross pattée or voided cross dividing the field into four quadrants, enclosed within a circular inner border, consistent with Norwegian penning types of the Olaf Kyrre period. To the left of the cross a small figure or symbol, possibly a sceptre or regal emblem, is visible in the field. A partially legible Latin legend surrounds the design along the outer border, with letter forms characteristic of 11th-century Scandinavian hammered coinage. The overall execution is bold but irregular, reflecting hand-struck production at the Nidaros mint. |

This type falls within the coinage of Olav Kyrre, whose reign from 1067 to 1093 marked a rare period of domestic stability in medieval Norway — no major wars, no succession crises. Kyrre, whose epithet means "the peaceful," consolidated the church and expanded urban settlement at Bergen and Nidaros. His pennings are among the first Norwegian coins to show consistent, if rough, die-cutting practices that suggest a more organized mint operation than his predecessors managed.
Skaare 26 is a recognized type within a series where die-linking studies remain incomplete. Many surviving examples come from Scandinavian hoard finds rather than single-site excavations.
