| Obverse description | Counterstamped Prague Groschen host coin, heavily worn and of irregular flan. The obverse bears the applied counterstamp of the City of Ulm, consisting of a shield charged with a chequerboard or grid pattern, punched into the field of the original Prague Groschen. A star or rosette device is visible in the upper portion of the field, likely a secondary counterstamp or original host coin element. The underlying legends and design elements of the Prague Groschen are largely obliterated by wear and the application of the counterstamp. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays the Ulm city counterstamp, a rectangular or shield-shaped punch bearing a grid or barred device, applied prominently to the field of the underlying Prague Groschen host coin. Traces of the original reverse design and circular legend of the Prague Groschen are faintly discernible beneath heavy wear, but are largely illegible. The flan is irregular and shows evidence of the hammered technique characteristic of late medieval coinage. The counterstamp is deeply impressed and clearly struck. |
