| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse bears a central inscription in Latin characters reading KREIZER I, denoting the denomination of one Kreuzer, arranged in two lines across the field. Below the denomination numeral, a small cross or dividing mark separates the legend elements. The hammered flan is irregular and clipped, characteristic of the debased copper Kipper coinage struck under the Bishopric of Eichstätt during the monetary crisis of 1621–1622. The field is largely plain with no additional decorative elements visible. Heavy copper corrosion and green patination affect the surfaces throughout. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
John Christopher of Westerstetten's copper kreuzer belongs to the emergency coinage wave that swept the Holy Roman Empire during the Kipper- und Wipperzeit — a currency crisis of 1619–1623 in which scores of minor princes, bishops, and municipal authorities debased their coinage to catastrophic effect, flooding markets with underweight and low-grade copper and billon issues. Eichstätt, a small ecclesiastical principality in Bavaria, was no exception. Westerstetten himself would later become notorious as one of the most aggressive witch-trial prosecutors in German history, presiding over mass executions in the diocese through the 1620s.
