| Obverse description | Central device depicts the pine cone of Augsburg, the city's heraldic symbol, flanked by the date numerals on either side. Below the pine cone, a crowned shield bearing the city's arms is positioned at the base of the design. The encircling legend reads DE LICORVM AVGVSTA VIN in Latin, referencing Augusta Vindelicorum, the Roman name for Augsburg. The overall composition is set within a beaded border, typical of hammered coinage of the early seventeenth century. |

| Reverse description | Central device features the Imperial double-headed eagle, displayed with wings spread and detailed feathering rendered in the hammered style, with the initials IF on the breast shield identifying the mintmaster. The eagle's heads are crowned with a single imperial crown at the top. The surrounding legend, divided by the eagle's wings, reads FERDINANDVS AVG ROM IMP, identifying Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand II. A beaded border frames the entire design, consistent with the hammered technique employed for this issue. |
