| Obverse description | Central field displays the Arms of Anhalt: a spread eagle with the distinctive interlaced letter 'A' superimposed on its body, all within a beaded inner circle. Decorative foliate and scroll ornaments appear in the four cardinal positions surrounding the central device. The circumferential Latin legend reads D:G:PRIN:ANHALT: The overall style is characteristic of the debased Kipper coinage period, struck in low-relief hammered technique. |

| Reverse description | Central field features the Roman numeral IIII enclosed within a square frame or cartouche, denoting the coin's denomination of 4 Pfennig. The date 1622 is distributed around the upper portion of the field, flanking the cartouche. Decorative scroll and foliate ornaments occupy the cardinal positions, mirroring the obverse design. A beaded border surrounds the entire composition. The design is simple and functional, consistent with the emergency Kipper coinage struck during the inflationary crisis of the early Thirty Years' War period. |
