Struck under Olav Kyrre, whose long and unusually peaceful reign following the catastrophic Norwegian defeat at Stamford Bridge in 1066 allowed domestic coinage to stabilize after decades of military disruption. Kyrre is credited with introducing more regularized coin production in Norway, drawing on Anglo-Saxon minting practices — unsurprising given how deeply English influence had penetrated Scandinavian monetary habits by the mid-eleventh century.
Skaare 35 is a rare type. Surviving examples in any condition are infrequently encountered.
