| Beschrijving keerzijde | A squarish four-fold heraldic shield displaying the dynastic arms of the House of Habsburg, set within an ornate Baroque cartouche frame, all enclosed by a beaded inner circle. The circumscribed Latin legend identifies the issuing authority as the city of Glogau (Glogovia), with the mint master's initials IH appearing at the close of the legend following the terminal stop. The reverse design is typical of Silesian municipal emergency coinage of the Kipper period, with the arms rendered in a compact, stylised format suited to the small flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Glogau's 1622 twenty-four kreuzer belongs to the infamous Kipper und Wipperzeit — the debasement crisis that convulsed the Holy Roman Empire between roughly 1619 and 1623. Municipalities, minor princes, and ecclesiastical authorities all rushed to strike debased coinage, then spent it as fast as possible before markets collapsed further. The silver content of coins nominally denominated the same fell so sharply across those years that contemporaries described the period as one of systematic fraud dressed in official mint authority.
Glogau, as a Silesian city under Habsburg pressure during the opening phase of the Thirty Years' War, had particular incentive to extract whatever revenue minting could provide.
