| Aversbeschreibung | Laureate and armored bust of Gustav II Adolf, King of Sweden, facing right, wearing an ornate breastplate with decorative shoulder armor and a mantle tied at the chest. The effigy is rendered in high relief in the Baroque style, with the king depicted with a short beard and mustache. A continuous Latin legend encircles the bust within a beaded inner border, reading his royal titles as King of Sweden, the Goths, and the Vandals. |

Gustav II Adolf died at the Battle of Lützen in November 1632 — the same year this piece was struck — making Augsburg's issue an inadvertent memorial coin produced while its subject was still alive. The city, a major Lutheran stronghold, had been occupied by Imperial forces in 1629 under the Edict of Restitution and recovered Swedish protection only after Gustav's German campaigns turned the tide. Striking a thaler in his name was a pointed political statement by a city that had suffered directly for its confession.
Davenport's EC II reference places this among a cluster of city-issued Swedish alliance thalers from 1631–32, several of which share obverse die relationships.
