| Obverse description | Countermarked face of a Prague Groschen. A small circular Nuremberg counterstamp bearing a Gothic uncial letter 'N' is applied to the coin's field. The host coin's original design elements — including flowing Gothic legends and decorative motifs typical of Bohemian Prague Groschen coinage — are visible beneath and around the counterstamp. The counterstamp is punched into the obverse field, partially overlapping the underlying design. The irregular flan and hammered fabric are characteristic of late 14th to early 15th century Central European silver coinage. |

| Reverse description | Reverse of the host Prague Groschen, displaying the Bohemian lion passant within a beaded or rope inner circle, surrounded by a Gothic legend arranged in a circular band along the coin's periphery. The crowned lion, a heraldic symbol of the Bohemian Crown, is rendered in the characteristic hammered style of the Kutná Hora mint. The legend, partially legible due to the worn and irregular flan, contains the titulature of the issuing Bohemian king in abbreviated Gothic script. The broad, thin flan and the double-circle border are hallmarks of authentic Prague Groschen coinage of this period. |
