Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Groschen (Counterstamped) ND (1456-1464) from City of Brunswick (German States) made of Silver 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.B." (Senatus Populusque Brunsvicensis), which stand for the Senate and People of Brunswick, indicating that the coin was issued by the city's government. This feature makes the coin particularly interesting to collectors and historians, as it provides insight into the economic and political systems of the time.
