| Obverse description | Draped bust of Elector Charles Theodore facing right, with flowing hair tied at the nape, occupying the central field. A circular Latin legend surrounds the effigy along the coin's rim, giving the ruler's full titles and dignities. The portrait is rendered in a refined late-Baroque style typical of late 18th-century Bavarian coinage. The truncation of the bust is plain, without additional marks or mintmaster initials visible at this position. |

| Reverse description | A reclining river god representing the Danube is depicted seated to the left in the central field, leaning against a large overturned urn from which water flows. Reeds grow beside him, and a cartouche or shield with decorative elements appears at lower right. The Latin legend EX AURO DANUBII arcs across the upper field, indicating that the coin was struck from Danube gold, while the Roman numeral date MDCCXCVIII appears in the exergue below. The composition is classically inspired, consistent with the allegorical imagery favored in late 18th-century German princely coinage. |
