| Beschrijving voorzijde | Square klippe flan with a central rounded shield bearing the city arms of Konstanz: a quartered cross dividing the shield into four fields, surmounted by a decorative crown or ornamental crest. The date 1623 is divided across the lower portion of the shield, with '16' to the left and '23' to the right. The design is enclosed within a beaded inner circle, surrounded by the circular Latin legend reading MONETA NOVA CONSTANTIENSIS, distributed around the full circumference of the coin. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Central field displays a large spread imperial double-headed eagle with wings displayed, rendered in fine hammered relief typical of early seventeenth-century German coinage. The eagle bears an ornamental device on its breast. The bird's two heads are crowned and face outward to either side. The design is set within a beaded inner circle, with the Latin imperial titulature legend encircling the periphery, identifying the Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand II. |

Konstanz struck klippe issues during the Thirty Years' War as emergency coinage — square-cut blanks produced when round planchets were unavailable or when the city needed to demonstrate civic authority under siege conditions. By 1623, the war was only five years old but already devastating Baden and the surrounding region, and the Rhine cities were scrambling to maintain functional currency supplies amid disrupted bullion networks.
The Davenport CCT reference places this squarely among the German taler-weight klippe documented as crisis issues rather than presentation pieces, though the line between the two categories in Konstanz production is genuinely debated.
