| Obverse description | The city arms of Augsburg — a pine cone upon a pedestal — displayed within an ornate oval baroque cartouche with scrollwork surround. The date is divided by the cartouche frame, with the last two digits of the year appearing in the field to either side. The entire design is enclosed within a beaded or dotted border running along the coin's periphery. The overall style is characteristic of early seventeenth-century German municipal coinage. |

| Reverse description | The denomination and mint attribution are presented in a three-line inscription occupying the central field of the reverse, reading 'VI / STADT / MINTZ', indicating six kreuzer of the city mint. The lettering is bold and roman in character, typical of emergency or kipper-period coinage of the early Thirty Years' War era. The field is otherwise plain, with no additional border ornament beyond the coin's irregular flan edge. |
