| Obverse description | Draped bust of Maximilian Emanuel, Elector of Bavaria, facing right, with long flowing curled wig rendered in fine detail. The date 1713 appears in the lower field beneath the truncation. The peripheral legend, divided by the bust, reads in abbreviated Latin, citing the ruler's titles as Duke and Governor of the Spanish Netherlands. The coin's milled edge is visible in the field, and the overall portrait style reflects the late Baroque engraving tradition of the Southern Netherlands. |

| Reverse description | Crowned quartered heraldic shield displaying the complex dynastic arms of Maximilian Emanuel as ruler of Bavaria and the Spanish Netherlands, with multiple quarterings including lions and other armorial charges. A large imperial crown surmounts the shield. The encircling Latin legend, distributed around the full periphery of the coin, abbreviates his extensive titles as Count Palatine, Arch-Treasurer and Elector of the Holy Roman Empire, Landgrave, and Marquess. The execution is bold and typical of Southern Netherlandish gold coinage of the early eighteenth century. |
