| Aanvullende informatie |
In 1715, the city of Konstanz applied a countermark to foreign silver coins to validate them for local circulation at 15 Kreuzer — a practical response to the chronic shortage of reliable small change that plagued southern German city-states in the aftermath of the War of the Spanish Succession. The host coins vary; finding the countermark cleanly struck without obscuring the underlying type is the exception rather than the rule.
