| Beschrijving voorzijde | 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. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ulm's practice of counterstamping foreign silver was a pragmatic response to the flood of Bohemian groschen moving through southwestern German trade routes in the late fourteenth century. Rather than reject or remelt perfectly serviceable coin, the city applied its own mark to vouch for the piece's acceptability within local commerce. The host coins originated in the Prague mint under Wenceslaus IV, whose reign was marked by repeated conflict with the Bohemian nobility and two depositions — instability that did nothing to diminish the groschen's commercial reach across central Europe.
Krusý U2.6 is among the more precisely documented of the Ulm counterstamp types, though attributing individual examples to a narrow date within the 1398–1419 window remains difficult without die study.
