Quarterpenny necklace in gold-plated silver

Quarterpenny pendant in gold-plated silver with chain.

The original silver quarterpenny was found during an archaeological excavation under Bryggen in Bergen. The quarterpenny 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 small amounts during the Hanseatic period.

The quarter is delivered in a nice box along with a card describing the history of the coin.

A 45 cm gold-plated silver chain is included.
