Håkon V moved the Norwegian capital from Bergen to Oslo in 1299, the same year his reign began, and his coinage reflects a consolidation of royal minting authority that his predecessors had allowed to fragment. The penning was the smallest unit in circulation, and surviving examples are typically found in hoards rather than as single finds — the denomination was too low-value to lose individually and too numerous to spend carefully.
Skaare 262 is among the more precisely documented types from this reign, though die studies remain incomplete relative to the larger bracteat series.
