Exceptionally Nice, Rare and Enigmatic
NORWAY. Penny, ND (1047-66). Nidarnes (Trondheim) Mint. Harald III Hardrada (Hardråde). NGC Unc Details--Peck Marked.
Schive-cf. II:24; NM-3; NMH-14b; Skaare-62d; Bruun-8853; Weight: 0.88 gms. Hairline split in flan. Exceptionally well-struck, nicely toned and presenting an attractive luster. An extremely rare type with the enigmatic obverse motif of a Triquetra (three interconnected arc shapes) that has roots in the ancient Celtic religion but was used on Danish coins by Cnut and Harthacnut.
Harald Hardrada (Severe / Resolute) is often thought of as the epitome of a Viking king, and his name is further immortalized by several appearances in popular culture ranging from H. P. Lovecraft to the Netflix series "Vikings".
From the L. E. Bruun Collection.
Estimate: 4000 - 6000
