Sm.216Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Prague Groschen (Counterstamped) ND (1398-1419) from City of Ulm (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 shield with the letters "CIVITAS ULM" (City of Ulm) inscribed above it, indicating that the coin was issued by the City of Ulm. This feature makes the coin particularly interesting to collectors and historians, as it provides a glimpse into the economic and political systems of medieval Europe.
