Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Prague Groschen (Counterstamped) ND (1436-1458) from City of Fritzlar (German States) made of Silver weighing 2.65g is that it features a unique counterstamp, which is a small stamp or marking that was added to the coin after it was minted. This counterstamp is a symbol of the city of Fritzlar and was used to indicate that the coin was issued by the city. The use of counterstamps was a common practice in medieval Europe, and it allowed cities and territories to issue their own coins while still using the standardized minting process of the larger region or country. This coin is a rare example of a counterstamped coin from the German States, making it a valuable and interesting piece for collectors.
