| Obverse description | Bare-headed bust of King Maximilian I Joseph of Bavaria facing right, rendered in high relief with finely detailed curled hair and a truncated neck. The portrait is executed in a neoclassical style with an austere, dignified character. The circular legend reading MAXIMILIANUS IOSEPHUS BAVARIAE REX runs along the periphery, separated from the portrait by a plain field. |

| Reverse description | A bearded river god personifying the Isar river is depicted seated and turned to the right, leaning against an overturned barrel or urn from which water flows, symbolizing the river's source. To the right in the mid-ground, the twin-towered silhouette of the Frauenkirche in Munich is visible, anchoring the composition geographically. In the exergue, the Roman numeral date MDCCCXXI is inscribed, while the upper legend EX AURO ISARAE arcs around the periphery, indicating the coin was struck from gold extracted from the Isar river. |
