Quarter penny earring gilded silver

Quarter penny earrings with studs in gilded 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.

Quarter penny earrings are delivered in a nice box together with a card where the history of the coin is described.
