Quarterpenny ring oxidized silver

Quarterpenny ring in oxidized silver.

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 quarterpenny ring comes in a nice box along with a card describing the history of the coin.
