| Beschrijving voorzijde | The city arms of Augsburg, consisting of a pine cone set upon a pedestal within an ornate baroque cartouche, flanked on either side by scrolling foliate and acanthus-leaf decoration filling the field to the octagonal coin edge. The pine cone, traditional heraldic symbol of the city of Augsburg, is rendered in relief at the centre of the shield. No legend is present on this face. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | A bold cross divides the reverse field into four quarters, with the four digits of the date distributed one per quarter around the cross. A small rosette or floral ornament appears above the cross at the top of the field, and a similar decorative element is placed at the base. The design is unlettered, relying entirely on the cross motif and date numerals as compositional elements within the octagonal flan. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Augsburg's small copper issues of this period were minted under the authority of the Free Imperial City, one of the last such cities still exercising independent coinage rights in the Holy Roman Empire. By the 1760s that autonomy was increasingly nominal — imperial oversight had tightened considerably, and Augsburg's once-formidable financial influence had long since faded from its Renaissance peak as a banking center for the Habsburgs.
The heller was the smallest unit in circulation, and copper issues of this denomination rarely survived in decent condition precisely because they were handled constantly by the lowest strata of urban commerce.
