Sm.75Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Prague Groschen (Counterstamped) ND (1378-1419) from Free city of Kempten (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 lion, which was the symbol of the city of Kempten, and it was applied to the coin by the local authorities to ensure that it was accepted as legitimate currency within the city's borders. 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.
