| Obverse description | Draped bust of Maximilian IV Joseph, Elector of Bavaria, facing right, wearing a military uniform with decorated collar and queue ribbon, rendered in high relief with naturalistic portraiture typical of the neoclassical style. The encircling Latin legend reads MAXIMILIAN IOSEPH CHURFÜRST ZU PFALZBAIERN, separated from the toothed border by a flat rim. The field is smooth and unadorned, allowing the portrait effigy to dominate the design. |

| Reverse description | The crowned quartered arms of Bavaria and the Palatinate, displayed within a circular shield, are flanked by crossed palm and laurel sprigs tied at the base, with the date 1805 inscribed in the exergue below. The electoral crown surmounts the shield, its arches and orb rendered in fine detail. The peripheral legend FÜR GOTT UND VATERLAND encircles the design along the upper arc, separated from the reeded border by a raised rim. The overall composition is heraldic and emblematic, consistent with German convention coinage of the early nineteenth century. |
