| Obverse description | Central field displays the arms of the Bishopric of Augsburg — a divided shield bearing the episcopal cross and the pine cone device of the city — surmounted by a mitre or similar ecclesiastical charge. The date 1622 appears in the upper field above the shield. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle border, with the hammered flan showing characteristic irregularity typical of Kipper-period emergency coinage. |

| Reverse description | The denomination is inscribed in three lines across the central field reading 'I / KREI / TZER', all contained within a plain inner circle surrounded by a beaded border. The bold, blocky lettering is characteristic of the hastily produced Kipper und Wipper emergency issues of the early 1620s. The flat, unadorned field and minimal design reflect the utilitarian nature of this debased low-denomination coinage. |
