| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field displays the city arms of Weissenburg am Rhein, comprising a fortified tower or gate motif, with the date split across the lower field (16 / 22). The arms are fully rendered within a circular flan, surrounded by a continuous Latin legend reading MON.NO.IMP.CIV.WEISSENBVRG.A.RH, identifying this as the new coinage of the Imperial City of Weissenburg on the Rhine. The lettering is in Roman capitals consistent with early 17th-century hammered coinage style. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Weissenburg's 12 Kreuzer of 1622 belongs to the flood of emergency municipal coinage that swept German cities during the Kipper- und Wipperzeit, the currency crisis of roughly 1618–1623 in which mints across the Holy Roman Empire systematically debased their silver issues to exploit fixed exchange rates. Cities and minor authorities that had rarely struck coins suddenly found it profitable — briefly — to issue heavily debased small denominations before the scheme collapsed and monetary chaos ensued. Weissenburg was among the smaller Franconian free cities swept into this episode.
