| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed left-facing bust of King Maximilian I Joseph of Bavaria occupying the central field, rendered in a restrained neoclassical style with finely engraved short curled hair. The truncation of the neck is plain and unadorned. A circular legend in Latin capital letters reads MAXIMILIAN JOSEPH KÖNIG VON BAYERN, running from the lower left around the periphery to the lower right. The reeded rim frames the design closely. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Bavaria's 1817 Goldgulden was struck under Maximilian I Joseph, the first king of the newly elevated Bavarian kingdom — a status Napoleon had granted in 1806 as reward for Bavarian military alliance. By 1817, Napoleon was gone and the Congress of Vienna had reshuffled German territorial arrangements, yet Bavaria retained its royal title. The coin was minted in relatively small quantities and circulated alongside a chaotic mixture of older coinage that Maximilian's government was still actively trying to rationalize through monetary reform.
The .770 fineness is notably lower than contemporary German gold issues, reflecting a deliberate economic calculation rather than metallurgical accident.
