| Beschrijving voorzijde | The municipal arms of Ravensburg — a triple-towered castle displayed on a shield — occupy the central field, with the numeral '4' positioned above the shield and a rosette ornament to each side. The castle device features three crenellated towers rising from a common base, rendered in bold relief characteristic of early seventeenth-century German emergency coinage. The coin is struck within a plain inner circle bordered by a beaded or milled outer rim. No legend is present on this face. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse is entirely blank, with no devices, legends, or ornamental elements struck into the copper planchet. The surface retains the plain, unworked character typical of the emergency Kipper- und Wipperzeit small copper coinage of the early 1620s. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Ravensburg's copper kreuzer of 1622 falls squarely within the Kipper- und Wipperzeit, the currency debasement crisis that swept the Holy Roman Empire from roughly 1619 to 1623. Municipal and territorial mints across the Empire flooded circulation with underweight, base-metal coinage to exploit the difference between face value and metal content — a race to debase that destabilized trade networks and triggered severe inflation. Ravensburg, a Free Imperial City with a long merchant history tied to the old Ravensburg Trading Company, was not immune to the pressures that drove smaller minting authorities into opportunistic copper issues.
