NORWAY. Penny, ND (after 1285). Eirik II Magnusson. NGC AU-50.
Schive-IX:24; NM-29:1 (1976); NM-10 (1992); NMH-234; Bruun-9176; Weight: 1.31 gms. Very slightly chipped but otherwise a most remarkable example with superior details.
With this issue Eirik (Eric) for a brief period managed to raise the standard of the Norwegian monetary issues to a reasonable level, and at the time this type was known as an "Eirik Gross". Outright warfare with the Danes and constant feuding with the Catholic Church (earning him the nickname "Priesthater") however soon debased the currency again.
From the L. E. Bruun Collection.
Estimate: 2000 - 3000
