1 Penning

Struck under Harald Hardrada's successor Olaf Kyrre, this penny belongs to a coinage period when Norwegian silver issues were closely modeled on contemporary Anglo-Saxon types — a direct consequence of the extensive cross-North Sea traffic in coin that preceded the Norman Conquest. Olaf's long, stable reign of nearly three decades allowed for unusually consistent output by Scandinavian standards of the period.

The Schive reference places this piece among the rarer die groupings documented in the 19th-century Norwegian numismatic surveys.
