Quarter penny signet ring oxidized silver

Quarter penny signet ring in oxidized silver.

The original Kvartpenningen in silver was found during an archaeological excavation under the Bryggen in Bergen. The quarter penny dates back to King Håkon V's time on the Norwegian throne (1299 - 1319). The silver quarterpenny was used as a means of payment for smaller amounts during the Hanseatic period.

The quarterpenny signet ring is delivered in a nice box together with a card where the history of the coin is described.
