| Beschrijving voorzijde | Applied counterstamp of the city of Fritzlar consisting of an eight-spoked wheel, punched into the obverse field of a Hessian Kronengroschen. The host coin displays a crowned shield in the center surrounded by a circular legend in Latin uncial script, with beaded inner and outer borders. The counterstamp is boldly impressed and partially overlaps the underlying design elements of the host coin. The wheel device, an heraldic symbol associated with Fritzlar, is clearly defined despite the irregular hammered flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Fritzlar, a small ecclesiastical city in Hesse under the jurisdiction of the Archbishop of Mainz, counterstamped foreign silver as a practical solution to chronic shortages of locally-authorized coinage. The Prague Groschen — struck in Bohemia and widely circulated across central Europe — was among the most common silver coins in the region, making it the obvious host for municipal validation marks.
The counterstamp authorized the coin for local circulation at an officially sanctioned rate, a common practice among smaller German cities that lacked full minting rights. Krusy F 4,1 remains thinly documented in terms of surviving population.
