| Obverse description | Bare-headed right-facing effigy of King Maximilian I Joseph of Bavaria, rendered in high relief with finely detailed curly hair and a strong classical profile. The truncation of the neck is plain and unadorned. A circular legend in Fraktur blackletter script surrounds the portrait, reading MAXIMILIAN JOSEPH KÖNIG VON BAIERN. The coin's broad milled border frames the design with a crisp dentilated edge. |

| Reverse description | The reverse features a symmetrical wreath of oak branches with acorns, tied at the base, enclosing a three-line inscription in ornate Fraktur blackletter script within the central field. The inscription reads LOHN DES FLEISSES (Reward of Diligence), identifying this piece as a school prize taler awarded for academic merit. The open field surrounding the lettering displays fine die-polished surfaces, and the overall composition is elegant and restrained, befitting its function as an honorific award piece. |
