| Beschrijving voorzijde | Seven-line inscription occupying the entire field, presenting the titles of Duke Johann in Latin abbreviation: JOHANS / VAN GOTT / GNA · ERBE / ZV NORW / [HE]RZV · 8[C] / L·HOL· / 1622·. The date appears in the final line. The legends are rendered in a bold upright Gothic-influenced hand typical of early seventeenth-century North German hammered coinage, with pellet stops separating abbreviated words. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | An armored equestrian figure — the 'Reuter' (rider) that gives this type its popular name — depicted in right profile atop a prancing horse leaping to the left, the rider wearing a plumed helmet and raising a baton or sword in his right hand. Below the horse, the denomination mark '4 SL' (four Schilling Lübisch) is clearly struck in the lower field. The design is rendered in a robust, somewhat naive style characteristic of hammered provincial coinage of the Kipper und Wipper period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
The "Reuterpfennig" — literally cavalryman's penny — takes its name from its intended function: small silver pieces struck in quantity to pay mounted troops during the opening years of the Thirty Years' War. The Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg was among the minor north German territories pressured into producing emergency military coinage as the conflict drew closer to the Danish sphere. John, Duke of Sonderburg, held one of the subdivided lines of the fractured Holstein-Sonderburg house, and his coinages from this period are among the more obscure issues of the Kipper und Wipper debasement cycle.
