| Beschrijving keerzijde | A bold double-barred or long cross divides the reverse field into four quadrants, the arms extending nearly to the coin's irregular edge, typical of Norwegian penninger of the Kyrre period struck at Nidaros. Small pellets or annulets appear in at least one quadrant. A runic inscription is partially visible along the periphery of the flan, reading 'kunar a mot pisa' (meaning 'Gunnar owns this stamp'), indicating the die owner's name in accordance with known Viking-age coinage practice. The strike is characteristically uneven, with parts of the legend weak or off-flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Olav Kyrre — "the Peaceful" — reigned for 26 years without fighting a single foreign war, an extraordinary record for an 11th-century Norse king. His reign saw the first permanent bishoprics established in Norway and the beginnings of Bergen as a town. The penninger struck under his authority are among the earliest coins produced on Norwegian soil rather than imported from or modeled directly on Anglo-Saxon dies, though English influence on the fabric remains unmistakable — a consequence of the close monetary ties following Harald Hardrada's defeat at Stamford Bridge in 1066, which left Olav to negotiate peace with William the Conqueror and reorient Norwegian coinage inward.
