Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Groschen coin from the City of Duderstadt is that it was counterstamped, which means that a new stamp or design was added to the coin after it was originally minted. This practice was common in the medieval period as a way to verify the authenticity of coins and to indicate that they had been approved for circulation by a particular authority. The counterstamp on this coin likely features the symbol of the City of Duderstadt, which would have been a unique identifier for the coin and helped to prevent counterfeiting.
