Krusy N 5,2Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Prague Groschen (Counterstamped) ND (1433-1434) from Free imperial city of Nuremberg (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 image of a standing lion, which was the symbol of the city of Nuremberg, and it was added to the coin by the local authorities to ensure that the coin was genuine and not a counterfeit. This feature makes the coin particularly interesting to collectors and historians, as it provides a glimpse into the methods used in the past to verify the authenticity of currency.
