Krug 327/25Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Groschen coin from the City of Einbeck is that it features a unique counterstamp, which was added to the coin as a way to verify its authenticity and value. The counterstamp bears the letters "S.P.Q.R.E." which stands for "Senatus Populusque Romanus Einbeck," which translates to "The Senate and People of Rome Einbeck." This counterstamp was added to the coin by the city's mint officials to indicate that the coin had been approved and certified by the Roman Empire. This feature makes the coin particularly interesting to collectors and historians, as it highlights the connection between the City of Einbeck and the Roman Empire during the medieval period.
