| Obverse description | The Bavarian royal coat of arms, featuring the quartered shield with the distinctive lozenge (fusilly) pattern of Bavaria and the lion of the Palatinate, surmounted by a royal crown, is centrally displayed within a wreath of oak branches tied at the base with a ribbon. The design is rendered in high relief against a flat field, bordered by a fine beaded inner circle and a reeded rim. No legend appears on the obverse, the heraldic device occupying the full composition in the manner typical of mid-nineteenth-century Bavarian coinage. |

| Reverse description | The denomination '1/2 KREUZER' is inscribed in three lines across the center of the field in bold serif lettering, with the fraction '1/2' placed above 'KREUZER', and the date '1851' beneath. The reverse is entirely typographic in character, without wreath or additional ornament beyond the beaded inner border and reeded rim. The large, well-spaced characters fill the field in a clean, authoritative arrangement consistent with Bavarian pattern coinage of the Maximilian II era. |
