| Reverse description | Crowned oval quartered coat of arms of Bavaria in ornate Baroque cartouche, featuring the characteristic blue and white diagonal lozenges of Bavaria alongside the Palatinate lion rampant and the central escutcheon bearing the imperial orb. The shield is surmounted by an electoral crown and enclosed within an elaborate scrollwork surround. The circular Latin legend around the periphery reads LAND* / *MINZ XV, denoting 'Landmünze' (regional coinage) with the denomination XV (15 Kreuzer), and the date is integrated into the legend as +16 / 93+, all separated by star ornaments within a toothed inner border. |

| Additional information |
Maximilian II Emanuel was in the Netherlands serving as Governor-General when most of these were struck, leaving Bavarian fiscal policy largely managed by officials in Munich. The late 1680s and early 1690s had drained the electorate's treasury through his campaigning against the Ottomans — he commanded at the siege of Belgrade in 1688 — and the 15 Kreuzer denomination filled a practical mid-range gap during the recoinage pressures that followed.
Hahn 192 is well-documented across the five-year span with minor die variations in the bust treatment.
