| Obverse description | Bare-headed bust of King Ludwig I of Bavaria facing left, rendered in a refined neoclassical style with naturalistic wavy hair. The portrait is unadorned and occupies the central field, conveying a dignified, idealized likeness. The circular legend reads LUDWIG I KOENIG VON BAYERN, arcing around the effigy from lower left to upper right. The field is smooth and uncluttered, with a milled border surrounding the design. |

| Reverse description | A panoramic cityscape of Würzburg is depicted across the central field, showing the city's skyline with towers, church spires, and the Marienberg Fortress prominently positioned on the rocky promontory to the right, with the River Main in the foreground. The legend EIN GOLD GULDEN arcs across the upper portion of the coin in bold serif lettering. Below the city view, the inscription S.P.Q.W. appears in the lower field, an abbreviation for Senatus Populusque Würzburgensis, referencing the city of Würzburg. The design commemorates the New Year gift tradition associated with the Würzburg civic authorities. A milled border frames the entire composition. |
