The engraver's initials H.S. appear on the truncation of the bust. A circular Latin legend surrounds the effigy, reading CAR.THEODOR D.G.C.P.R.V.B.D.&.R.I.A.&EL.D.I.C.&M., abbreviated titles of the Elector. The field is smooth and unadorned, with a finely milled border encircling the coin. |

| Reverse description | A river god personifying the Inn River (Oenus) is depicted seated to the right, his body turned partially backward, in the classical allegorical tradition. He holds a rococo-style shield bearing the Bavarian lozengy arms. The date is rendered in Roman numerals in the exergue. The surrounding Latin legend EX AURO OENI refers to gold from the Inn River, a reference to the alluvial gold used in striking these ducats. |
