Note: coins were distributed mainly in Norway by local coin distributor (some of coins available also via Isle of Man Post Office: locally on the island and via their website). On the original certificates of authenticity (in Norwegian) composition was stated as silver plated bronze. However the IOM government acts (Currency determination) says that core of these coins (high relief 32.6g) is made from tombac (Cu85Zn15 = Brass).
Harald Sigurdsson (Old Norse: Haraldr Sigurðarson; c. 1015 – 25 September 1066), also known as Harald III of Norway and given the epithet Hardrada in the sagas, was King of Norway from 1046 to 1066. He unsuccessfully claimed the Danish throne until 1064 and the English throne in 1066. Before becoming king, Harald spent 15 years in exile as a mercenary and military commander in Kievan Rus' and chief of the Varangian Guard in the Byzantine Empire.
The coin was given the appearance of an antique finish.
