| Beschrijving keerzijde | Reverse of the host Prague Groschen with a secondary counterstamp visible in the central field, appearing as a small punch mark or civic device applied by the City of Amberg authorities. The original reverse design, typical of Bohemian Prague Groschen, features remnants of a crowned lion of Bohemia, though heavily worn and partially obscured by the countermark. A fragmentary Latin uncial legend runs along the outer border, largely illegible due to wear. The flan is irregular in shape and thickness, consistent with hand-struck medieval coinage of the late 14th to early 15th century. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Amberg, a free imperial city in the Upper Palatinate, resorted to countermarking foreign silver because it lacked a mint of its own for small-denomination circulation currency. The Prague Groschen, struck under the Bohemian crown, circulated so widely across Central Europe that municipalities routinely validated — or formally re-tariffed — them rather than replace them. The Amberg mark authenticated the coin for local exchange at a fixed rate, sidestepping the need for a full minting operation.
The date range spans the reign of Wenceslaus IV of Bohemia through the early Hussite period, a span of considerable monetary disruption across the region.
