| Obverse description | Bare-headed bust of King Ludwig I of Bavaria in left profile, rendered in a classical Neoclassical style with naturalistic wavy hair. The effigy is unadorned and unrobed, presenting a severe Roman-inspired portrait. The circular legend LUDOVICUS BAVARIAE REX runs along the periphery, divided by the bust truncation. The fields are smooth and lustrous, with a milled edge border framing the design. |
