| Beschrijving voorzijde | Heavily worn hammered silver flan displaying the characteristic design of a Bohemian Prague Groschen host coin, with vestiges of the original double-tailed lion of Bohemia visible in the central field. The surface exhibits considerable wear and darkened patina consistent with extended circulation. Traces of a Latin legend in uncial script are discernible around the periphery, though largely illegible due to striking irregularities and wear. The overall design retains the broad, flat flan typical of Prague Groschen coinage of the late 14th and early 15th centuries. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Schwäbisch Hall's practice of counterstamping foreign silver was a practical response to the chronic shortage of acceptable trade coin in the region. Rather than strike new silver, the city applied its mark to circulating Prague Groschen — the dominant central European trade coin of the period, struck under the Bohemian crown and widely trusted for their consistent fineness. The counterstamp effectively vouched for acceptability within Hall's commercial sphere without the expense of a full recoinage.
The date range spans the tenure of several successive city administrations, and Kruse distinguishes at least two stamp varieties under S5 and S6.
