| Obverse description | The obverse displays the crowned imperial double-headed eagle of Augsburg, its wings spread, with a pineapple-shaped shield (the civic arms of Augsburg) on its breast. Two standing armored figures flank the central eagle as supporters, with additional military trophies and weaponry visible in the field. The date appears in the lower portion of the design, flanked by small decorative stars. The legend AVGVSTA VINDELICORVM arcs around the periphery in Latin capitals, referencing the city's Roman name. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a laureate and draped bust of Holy Roman Emperor Joseph I facing right, his long curled wig cascading over his armored shoulders. The portrait is rendered in high relief in the baroque style typical of early 18th-century German coinage. The legend IOSEPHVS D G ROM IMP S A encircles the bust, identifying him as Joseph, by the Grace of God, Roman Emperor, always Augustus. The field is smooth and the milled edge is clearly defined. |
