| Beschrijving voorzijde | The city arms of Augsburg — a pine cone (Zirbelnuss) set upon an ornate vase or pedestal — are displayed centrally within an elaborate scrollwork frame in sexfoil form. The date is divided to either side of the central device, with '17' at left and '40' at right. Two horseshoes appear below the pedestal in the lower field. The overall design is rendered in a confident baroque style characteristic of early eighteenth-century German municipal coinage, with the scrollwork framing filling the angular klippe flan to its corners. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Augsburg's heller was among the lowest-denomination coins in circulation — a copper or billon piece of negligible value — making a gold pattern strike of one wholly impractical as a circulating issue. These were produced as presentation pieces, almost certainly for the city council or wealthy patrician collectors, during a period when Augsburg's minting authority was already in decline relative to imperial and territorial competitors. The three-year window of 1740–1742 coincides with the outbreak of the War of Austrian Succession, when monetary experimentation and prestige striking were common diversions of civic mints with diminishing commercial relevance.
