Magnus VII was elected King of Norway at age three in 1319, the same year he inherited the Swedish throne — a dynastic accident that briefly united the two crowns under a child regent. Norwegian coinage of his reign was struck under the authority of his guardians, and the penning issues of this period reflect the administrative fragmentation that came with a prolonged minority rule. Output was thin and inconsistent across mints.
Brekke 42.2 is among the scarcer die classifications for this type.
