| Beschrijving voorzijde | The obverse displays the counterstamp of the city of Attendorn, consisting of a crowned heraldic device surmounting two addorsed crescents or roundels in the central field, applied by hammer punch directly onto the host coin's surface. The counterstamp is struck in high relief against the worn, irregular flan of the underlying Prague Groschen. The punched impression is bold and well-defined despite the irregular surface, and no additional legend accompanies the municipal mark. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Attendorn, a Hanseatic trading town in Westphalia, lacked minting rights of its own but required a reliable medium for local commerce. The solution was to counterstamp Prague groschen — the dominant trade coin of late medieval central Europe — with the city's mark, effectively co-opting Bohemian silver for Attendorn's own mercantile purposes. This practice placed the town's authority directly onto foreign coinage without the legal complications of striking original issues.
The date range corresponds to the tumultuous Hussite period in Bohemia, when Prague groschen output was inconsistent. Host coins will vary considerably in their underlying condition and die state.
