| Obverse description | Central device depicts the pine cone of Augsburg — the city's heraldic emblem — rising from an ornate Ionic column capital rendered in baroque style, the whole surmounted by acanthus foliage. The date 1763 appears on a rectangular tablet at the base of the column, with the mintmaster's initials F • A • H below. The surrounding circular legend AVGVSTA VIN - DELICORVM reads in Latin script, distributed around the periphery, bounded by a reeded rim. |
