| Obverse description | Allegorical scene commemorating the bicentennial of the Augsburg Confession: a seated female figure at left, representing Religion or the Church, holds attributes including a shield with the city arms, while at center a draped table bears an open book inscribed 'C A' (Confessio Augustana) with rays of divine light emanating from above. A standing male figure at right gestures upward toward the radiance. The Augsburg pine cone symbol appears at lower left. A circular legend in German reads 'GEDENCKT AN DIESEN TAG' with the date '25 IVN 1730' inscribed in the exergue. |

| Reverse description | Six-line German Biblical inscription filling the coin's field, citing 2 Timothy 1:8, enclosed within a plain border with decorative ornaments below. The lettering is bold and well-spaced in the German orthographic style of the period, reading 'SCHAEME / DICH NICHT / DES ZEUGNISSES / VNSERS HERRN / NOCH MEINER / 2. TIM. 1. 8.' The reverse carries no portrait or further imagery, relying entirely on the Scriptural text as its device. |
