| Obverse description | Bare-headed bust of King Ludwig I of Bavaria in right profile, rendered in high relief with finely detailed curling hair and a short mustache. The truncation is plain and bears the engraver's signature G. VOIGT below. The circular legend around the periphery reads LUDWIG I KOENIG VON BAYERN, while the lower portion of the field carries the fineness designation ZEHN EINE FEINE MARK, separated by the bust. The design is executed in a classical Neoclassical style characteristic of early 19th-century Bavarian coinage. |
