Struck under Harald Hardrada's successor Olaf Kyrre, this issue belongs to a period when Norwegian royal coinage was still heavily derivative of Anglo-Saxon penny types — a direct consequence of the English moneyers and dies that entered Scandinavian minting practice following decades of cross-North Sea political entanglement. Olaf's long, stable reign of nearly three decades was unusual for the period, and the relative consistency of his coinage reflects that.
Skaare 21 is among the types attributed to Norwegian mints still not fully localized with certainty.
