| Obverse description | Square klippe flan with a prominent inner beaded circle border. At center, the elaborate crowned royal cypher of Augustus III (AR monogram — interlaced 'A' and 'R' in Baroque script) surmounted by a royal crown with pearled arches. The date 1761 is divided on either side of the monogram, with '17' to the left and '61' to the right, rendered in large numerals. The field surrounding the cypher is slightly concave and shows the characteristic irregular edges of a klippe strike. |

| Reverse description | Square klippe flan with inner beaded circle border matching the obverse. The central field bears a four-line Latin inscription in bold upright lettering: 'SOLID / CIVITAT / GEDAN' (abbreviation for Solidus Civitatis Gedanensis, i.e. Schilling of the City of Danzig). Below, flanking a small crown over a cross ornament, appear the letters 'RE' to the left and 'OE' to the right, likely denoting the mint master or assayer initials. A small ornamental flower or rosette appears at the top of the inner circle above the legend. |
