| Beschrijving voorzijde | Laureate and draped bust of Holy Roman Emperor Francis I facing right, wearing an elaborate armored cuirass with richly decorated ermine-trimmed mantle, his long curled wig rendered in fine baroque detail. The effigy is boldly struck in high relief, occupying the majority of the coin's field. A circular beaded border frames the design, with the imperial titulature legend arranged around the periphery. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Augsburg's status as a Free Imperial City gave it minting rights that most German territories envied, but by 1764 that privilege was becoming increasingly nominal. The Convention of 1753 — struck between Bavaria and Austria — standardized the thaler at exactly 10 per Cologne mark of silver, and cities like Augsburg were effectively compelled to conform or risk their coins being refused at major trade fairs. This piece is a product of that compliance.
Forster's attribution places it squarely within a small run of civic thalers issued as Augsburg's merchant class lobbied to maintain relevance in southern German commerce increasingly dominated by Habsburg monetary policy.
