These coins were struck on top of a previous issue. See https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces2276.html for more info.

I've never seen any and I've been looking for ages.

That is an excellent example, geraltttt82. I have a couple and they are nowhere near as clear as yours.
Inordinately fascinated by bits of metal with strange markings and figures

@Pertinax, there are still plenty nice ones to find.. I buy coins per kilogram, always from the same seller.. and have now 5 very good examples in my Italian album.. and even one showing the full date and the denomination on the other side.. So one day, when you not expected, one will pop-up for you..

And what about the zinc Groschen from Austria, the years after WWII. A lot of them are struck on the German Reichspfennig.. These are a bit harder to find as zinc is 'softer'.. but these are often overseen, by fellow collectors.. I'm always on the hunt for these..

Quite common and affordable. One of the easier overstruck coins to find.
