A "counterstamp" coin is a coin that has been stamped or engraved with a design or mark by a private individual or organization, rather than by an official mint. Counterstamping was a common practice in the past, especially during times of coin shortages, when coins of different denominations or currencies were often used interchangeably.
Counterstamping could serve several purposes, such as to commemorate an event. Counterstamps could be applied to either the obverse or reverse side of the coin, and they could be made with various materials, including metal punches, dies, hammers, or hand-held tools.
Today, counterstamped coins are often collected as numismatic curiosities, and they can provide valuable historical and cultural insights into the economic, social, and political contexts of their time.
