| Beschrijving voorzijde | Single-sided bracteate struck in thin silver, displaying a crowned royal effigy or symbolic device in high relief at center. A prominent three-pointed crown occupies the upper field, its arches rendered in stylized relief with pellet ornaments. Beneath the crown, a vertical element — likely a sceptre or cross-topped staff — divides the lower design, which features two outward-curving volutes or limbs terminating in pellets, characteristic of the Tønsberg mint style of the late 14th century. The entire design is enclosed within a plain inner border, with the broad, irregularly shaped flan typical of Norwegian hammered bracteate coinage of this period. The letter T, serving as a mint mark for Tunsberg (Tønsberg), is incorporated into the central device. |

Struck during the period when Norway's population had been reduced by roughly half following the Black Death's arrival in 1349, these small silver penninger represent some of the most degraded coinage the kingdom ever produced. The monetary system was severely disrupted — bullion was scarce, minting was irregular, and surviving die-linked groups suggest production was concentrated in brief, chaotic bursts rather than sustained campaigns.
Skaare 282 places this type within the late Håkon VI period, when Norwegian royal authority was increasingly subordinated to Hanseatic commercial pressure. The coins circulated alongside foreign currency that frequently displaced them entirely.
