| Obverse description | Laureate and armored bust of Emperor Francis I facing right, depicted with an elaborate curled periwig and richly decorated cuirass with visible shoulder armor and ornamental detail. The portrait is rendered in high relief in a confident Baroque style, occupying the full inner field of the coin. A circular Latin legend runs along the periphery, interrupted by the bust at the base. |

| Reverse description | Central device featuring the Augsburg pine cone — the heraldic symbol of the city — displayed within an elaborate Baroque cartouche frame, surmounted by a stylized city wall with flanking towers. The Roman numeral date MDCCXLV is divided at the lower portion of the design, flanking the cartouche. The overall composition reflects the ornate civic heraldic tradition of 18th-century German Free Imperial Cities. |
