| Obverse description | Bare-headed right-facing effigy of King Maximilian II of Bavaria, rendered in high relief with fine portrait detail including a short beard and sideburns. The king's truncation is plain, with the engraver's initials C.V. (Carl Voigt) visible below. The encircling legend reads MAXIMILIAN II KOENIG V. BAYERN, distributed around the upper and lower periphery in Latin characters. The portrait is executed in a neoclassical style with naturalistic modelling of facial features. The field is smooth and unadorned, framed by a fine milled border. |

The legend VEREINSMUNZE arcs across the upper field, while 100 EIN PFUND FEIN runs along the lower periphery, referencing the German Monetary Union standard of 100 coins to one pound fine gold.
