| Beschrijving voorzijde | The civic arms of Augsburg — the characteristic pine cone (Pyr) above a decorative pedestal — divide the four-digit date, with the first two numerals to the left and the last two to the right of the device. The entire composition is enclosed within a continuous wreath border, rendered in a simple but bold style consistent with early seventeenth-century hammered coinage. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The reverse bears a two-line numeral inscription arranged concentrically within a beaded inner circle: 'CCCC' on the upper line and 'XX' on the lower, denoting the coin's tariff value of 1/420th of a gulden. A decorative beaded outer border frames the field, giving the design a clean, utilitarian appearance typical of small copper Heller coinage of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Augsburg's decision to strike copper Heller during this period reflects the broader German municipal scramble to maintain small-denomination coinage during the monetary chaos preceding the Kipper- und Wipperzeit — the notorious debasement crisis of 1619–1623 in which city after city manipulated billon and copper issues to profit from the spread between face value and metal content. As a Free Imperial City with its own minting rights confirmed under the Holy Roman Empire, Augsburg had the legal standing to produce these pieces, though the timing placed them squarely within one of the most turbulent monetary episodes in early modern German history.
