The circular legend reads GROSSUS TRIPLEX THORUNENSIS, separated by a six-pointed star, arranged around the full periphery of the coin. Mintmaster initials DB appear in the lower field flanking the shield. |

| Additional information |
The 1763 trojak from Toruń is among the last coins struck under August III, who died in October of that year — making this issue a closing chapter in over six decades of Saxon rule over the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. The Toruń mint had a complicated legal status, operating under the city's own privileges as a Royal Prussian municipality, which occasionally put it at odds with Warsaw over striking rights and fineness standards.
Iger T.63 is the standard reference for this type, with minor die variations documented across the final year of production.
