| Obverse description | Armored and draped bust of Maximilian II Emanuel, Elector of Bavaria, facing right, with long flowing periwig. The Elector is depicted in elaborate baroque plate armor with ornamental pauldrons and a draped mantle over the left shoulder. The portrait is rendered in high relief in the late 17th-century court style, displaying fine detail in the chased hair and armor. The circumferential Latin legend in small characters runs along the outer border, separated from the effigy by the inner circle of the coin. |
