Hello,

Does anyone here recognize this bracteate?  It weighs 0.3 g and measures 14 - 16 mm, depending where I measure it. I appreciate any help in identifying this or any valuation. Thanks,

Looks to me like danish N#143452

or the versions without cross (not listed on numista)

Interrested in nordic numismatic history, and european history overall.

Always looking for damaged, holed or even unidentifyable coins.

I see that this Skærv is listed as weighing 0.14 g and worth ½ penning. My coins is roughly double that. Is there also  pennings of similar design?
