| Obverse description | Central device features the Bavarian coat of arms — a quartered shield combining the Palatinate lion and the Bavarian lozengy pattern — surmounted by an electoral bonnet and flanked by two rampant lions serving as heraldic supporters. The date 1623 appears beneath the shield in the lower field. The circumferential legend reads MAXIMILIANVS·D:G:COM:PAL·RHE·VTRQ:BOIARIÆ·DVX, identifying Maximilian I as Count Palatine of the Rhine and Duke of Bavaria, rendered in bold Roman capitals within a beaded border. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a crowned enthroned figure of the Virgin Mary as Madonna, seated facing, holding the Christ Child on her left arm and a sceptre in her right hand, set against a radiant glory. The composition is rendered in high relief in the Baroque manner characteristic of Bavarian electoral coinage of the period. The circumferential legend CLYPEVS OMNIBVS IN TE SPERANTIBVS — 'A shield to all those who trust in Thee' — encircles the central device in Roman capitals, reflecting Maximilian I's deep Marian devotion and his use of the Virgin as dynastic patron. The whole is contained within a beaded inner border. |
