| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central device consists of a bold double-lined cross pattee dividing the field into four quadrants, a design type closely derived from contemporary Anglo-Saxon penny coinage. The cross extends nearly to the border, with each quadrant displaying a recessed, flat field. Surrounding the cross is a circular Latin legend reading '+DOC+DOC+DOC+DOC', a repetitive inscription characteristic of late Viking-Age Norwegian pennies struck at Nidaros. Annulets punctuate the legend at the cardinal points, and the flan is irregular, as is typical of hammered silver coinage of this period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This penny dates to the reign of Olav Kyrre, who came to power following the catastrophic defeat at Stamford Bridge in 1066 — a battle that ended Norwegian ambitions in England and killed his father, Harald Hardrada. Kyrre's long reign brought an unusual stability to Norway, and his coinage reflects a consolidation of royal minting authority that his predecessors had never fully achieved.
The Schive III:30 reference places this among the documented types in Christian Schive's foundational 1865 typology, still the baseline classification for Norwegian medieval coinage.
