| Obverse description | Central field displays the ornate heraldic helmet of Anhalt-Plötzkau surmounted by a crest, flanked by elaborate decorative mantling extending across the field. The surrounding legend reads A F Z A, rendered in Latin characters separated by dots, serving as an abbreviation for the ruling prince's title. The coin is struck on an irregular flan typical of early seventeenth-century hammered coinage, with bold if somewhat uneven relief. |

| Reverse description | Central device features a crowned imperial orb inscribed with the Roman numeral III denoting the denomination of 3 Pfennig, the orb surmounted by a cross fleury. The date 1622 is divided by the orb, with 16 appearing to the left and 22 to the right of the central motif. The field is decorated with small pellets arranged around the orb, consistent with the ornamental style of contemporary German Kleinmünzen struck during the Kipper und Wipper period. |
