| Obverse description | Central device features the Augsburg pine cone (Pyr) mounted on an ornate baroque pedestal, set within a wreath of stylized foliage and flowering branches. The pine cone, the ancient heraldic symbol of the city of Augsburg, is rendered in high relief with careful detailing of its scales. Flanking foliate sprays frame the central device symmetrically within the octagonal flan. The field is plain, with no surrounding legend. The overall composition reflects the refined engraving style characteristic of mid-eighteenth-century German municipal coinage. |

| Reverse description | Two crossed palm fronds arranged in saltire (X-form) dominate the central field, their tips extending toward the four diagonal corners of the octagonal flan. The date 1756 is divided by the crossed fronds, with '17' to the left and '56' to the right. A small decorative cluster of berries or buds appears above the crossing point, and a further ornamental device is visible below. A border of fine milling or beading runs along the inner edge of the octagonal rim, framing the design. The composition is characteristic of the small-denomination pattern issues of Augsburg. |
