| Beschrijving keerzijde | A displayed Imperial eagle, rendered with finely detailed feathering and spread wings, occupies the entire reverse field. The eagle faces to the right, with talons clutching a sword and orb, symbols of Imperial authority. A rope-beaded inner border frames the design, with the continuous Latin legend around the periphery reading IMP · CÆS · FERD · II · P · F · GER · HVN · BOH · REX, identifying Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand II as King of Germany, Hungary, and Bohemia. The bold, high-relief eagle is characteristic of the Imperial coinage tradition of the early seventeenth century and reflects the close political ties between the Free City of Augsburg and the Habsburg imperial court. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Augsburg's mint was among the most technically sophisticated in the Holy Roman Empire, and 1626 placed this coin squarely in the opening decade of the Thirty Years' War — a conflict that would eventually devastate the city's trade networks and drain its civic treasury. The free city's decision to strike gold at this moment was partly political signaling: maintaining a high-quality gold coinage advertised financial stability that Augsburg could barely guarantee.
Fr#54 is known with minor die variations in the arrangement of the city arms quarterings.
