| Obverse description | Unadorned bust of Elector Charles Theodore facing right, with flowing powdered wig rendered in fine detail. The effigy is executed in high relief against a flat field, displaying the characteristic late-Baroque portraiture style of the period. A continuous Latin legend surrounds the bust, reading the Elector's abbreviated titles as Vicar of the Holy Roman Empire. The rim is finely milled, framing the design with precision. |

Upon the eagle's breast is a quartered heraldic shield bearing the arms of Bavaria and the Palatinate, suspended within a collar of the Order of the Golden Fleece. The date 1792 appears in the exergue below the eagle, and a continuous abbreviated Latin legend of titles encircles the entire design within the milled rim. |
