| Aversbeschreibung | Central field displays the arms of the Bishopric of Augsburg: a vertically divided shield with the left half bearing a granulated or ermine-like texture and the right half plain, set within an ornamental wreath of oak leaves encircling the entire design. The date 1622 appears in the upper field above the shield, inside the wreath. The overall style is characteristic of the debased Kipper-period coinage, struck with simple hammered dies and exhibiting an irregular flan. |

| Reversbeschreibung | The reverse displays the denomination inscription in three lines across the central field, reading I / KREIT / ZER, separated by small cross ornaments above the first line, between the numeral and text, and below the final line. The entire design is enclosed within a wreath of oak leaves, consistent with the obverse border treatment. The lettering is bold and in capital Roman characters, typical of the hurriedly produced Kipper-era subsidiary coinage of the Holy Roman Empire. |

The Kipper und Wipper crisis of 1621–23 was a deliberate debasement spiral in which dozens of German states, episcopal and secular alike, raced to mint the worst coins they could pass before their neighbors caught on. The Bishopric of Augsburg was no bystander — Heinrich V von Knörringen's mint exploited the chaos fully, issuing billon kreuzer with sharply reduced silver content while the Thirty Years' War drained every treasury in the region.
KM#3 is among the smaller denominational survivors of this inflationary episode. Augsburg's civic mint and the episcopal mint operated in uneasy proximity, which occasionally complicates attribution of this period's output.
