| Reversbeschreibung | Crowned oval shield bearing the combined arms of the Palatinate-Bavaria, displaying the Bavarian lozengy field and the Palatinate lion passant, all within an ornate laurel and palm spray wreath tied at the base. An electoral bonnet surmounts the shield. The date 1787 is divided across the lower field flanking the base of the wreath, and the denomination numeral (2) appears in parentheses at the bottom centre below the wreath. The surrounding Latin legend S.R.I.ARCHID.&.EL.DVX.I.CL.&.M. records Charles Theodore's titles as Arch-Steward of the Holy Roman Empire, Elector, and Duke of Jülich, Cleves and Berg. |

| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Charles Theodor inherited Bavaria in 1777 through the extinction of the Wittelsbach-Sulzbach line, a succession so politically inconvenient that Frederick the Great went to war over it — the brief War of the Bavarian Succession ended in 1779 with the Treaty of Teschen, leaving Charles Theodor's claim intact but stripping him of a portion of the Lower Bavarian territories he had hoped to consolidate. He never much wanted Bavaria in the first place, preferring his Palatine holdings, and his reign was marked by chronic unpopularity with Bavarian subjects who saw him as an absentee administrator.
The 1787 two-ducat issue falls within a narrow window of relatively stable court expenditure before Joseph II's renewed pressure on Charles Theodor to exchange Bavaria for the Austrian Netherlands — a scheme that ultimately collapsed a second time.
