| Beschrijving voorzijde | Crowned frontal effigy of King Sverre Sigurdsson within a beaded inner circle, depicted in a stylized medieval manner characteristic of Norwegian hammered coinage of the late 12th century. A circular legend surrounds the bust, with an additional beaded ring delineating the outer rim. The portrait is rendered in a crude yet expressive style typical of the period, with the crown clearly rendered above the royal visage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Sverre Sigurdsson seized the Norwegian throne through civil war, defeating and killing King Magnus Erlingsson at the Battle of Fimreite in 1184 — the first naval battle recorded in Norwegian history. His claim rested on alleged illegitimate birth to King Sigurd Munn, a genealogy his enemies and the Church openly contested. Pope Innocent III eventually placed Norway under interdict during Sverre's reign, a censure Sverre defied until his death in 1202.
Skaare 119 is among the thinner, more irregularly flan'd issues of his coinage, reflecting the strained minting infrastructure of a kingdom at near-continuous war for two decades.
