| Obverse description | Central shield bearing the quartered Wittelsbach arms within a beaded inner circle, with the date prominently displayed above the shield. The surrounding legend contains the titles of Friedrich II, Elector Palatine, running along the outer circumference in Latin script. The hammered flan imparts a characteristic irregular surface typical of early sixteenth-century German coinage. |

The lion is depicted with a long curling tail and prominent mane, occupying most of the central field. The surrounding legend in Latin script carries the electoral and territorial titles of Friedrich II, disposed around the outer circumference. |
