The second specimen was lot 558 in Schulman auction 379 (Amsterdam, June 2024), where it sold for €140 (about US$180 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''GRONINGEN Stad. 28 stuiver. 1692, Silver Type II. Gekroonde dubbele adelaar met rijksappel op de borst. Kz. gekroond stadswapen, jaartal boven de kroon, waardeaanduiding in cartouche. Met klop A10: G.O in rechthoek Munt: Vrijwel Zeer Fraai. Klop: Zeer Fraai+.'' (city of [[Netherlands, Groningen|Groningen]], silver 28 stuivers of 1692, type II. Obverse: crowned doubled headed eagle with imperial orb on its breast; reverse: crowned city arms, date above, value in cartouche, with "G O" counterstamp. Host coin about Very Fine, counterstamp bold very fine.)"</blockquote> The city struck this denomination in several varieties (KM 49 (shown here), KM 50 (no inner circle), KM 51 (arms/bust)) as well as several piedforts. The counterstamp was applied in the 1690's to deter rampant counterfeiting.
