| Beschrijving keerzijde | A reclining allegorical figure of the Danube river god depicted as a bearded male nude, leaning against an ornate shield bearing the Bavarian lozenge arms, with water reeds rising behind him and his right arm extended toward the field. The composition is executed in a fine neoclassical style and occupies the lower two-thirds of the reverse field. Above, the Latin legend EX AURO DANUBII arcs around the upper periphery, indicating the coin was struck from Danube gold. The date in Roman numerals MDCCCXXI is inscribed along the lower exergual line beneath the figure. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Bavaria struck this ducat using gold panned from the Danube and its Bavarian tributaries — "Donaugold," river gold with a characteristic warm hue and slightly variable fineness that distinguishes it from refined bullion issues. The practice of issuing prestige ducats from locally sourced alluvial gold dated back centuries, but by Maximilian I Joseph's reign it had become a deliberate statement of regional economic identity rather than a practical monetary measure.
Mintages were intentionally small. These circulated almost exclusively as gifts, diplomatic presentations, and Neujahrsgeschenke — New Year's presentation pieces — rather than in trade.
