Re: Medieval silver coin identification please
The coin has been hammered around a back-plate so the wording on the back will likely be the name and address of the jeweller.
The image on the coin is that of the Norwegian King, Olaf II Haraldsson, who reigned 1015 - 1028, died in battle in 1030 and was canonised as St. Olaf (traditionally known as St. Olave) in 1031.
Not much, but it's a start.
