Norway temp. Harald Hardrade to Olav Kyrre Penny ND (c. 1065-1080)

Norway
temp. Harald Hardrade to Olav Kyrre Penny ND (c. 1065-1080) AU Details (Bent) NGC, Shive-3.20. 1.03gm. Although ascribed directly to Olav Kyrre on the holder, most of the derivative "bust" issues of the period are difficult to attribute to the reign of Olav or his father Harald, who initiated the series. Pennies with Runic legends occasionally carry the name of Olav, though those on this piece are more or less illiterate and stylized versions of the original Latin/Old English. Sold with Davissons and Oslo Mynthandel tags.

Ex. Davissons; Oslo Mynthandel Auction (October 1994, Lot 243) From A Professor's Collection of Ancient and Medieval Coinage
