| Obverse description | Three sunflowers grow from a common stem at the center of the field, each blossom bearing a small heraldic shield within its head — the central flower surmounted by a crowned orb with cross. Above the arrangement, rays of divine light emanate from a triangle set within clouds, symbolizing the Holy Trinity. A flowing ribbon banner across the lower portion of the composition bears the legend TRINVM PERFECTVM EST, while the upper legend HOC CES BAV SPICIO curves along the inner border. The composition is executed in high relief with finely detailed naturalistic foliage, enclosed by a beaded inner border and a reeded outer rim. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays a bold seven-line Latin inscription arranged in the center of the field, reading VIVANT & CRESCANT 3 PRINC: ELECTORALES APPRECANTIBVS VTR: BAV: STAT: DEVOTISSIS A° 1699, expressing the wishes of the Estates of both Bavarias for the three Electoral princes. The inscription is encircled by a wreath of interlaced diamond-shaped laurel or palm branches, elegantly tied at the base with a pair of clasped hands symbolizing unity and loyalty. The entire design is framed by a beaded inner border and a reeded outer rim consistent with the obverse. The relief is crisp and the lettering is well-spaced in a formal Roman epigraphic style. |
