| Obverse description | Central field features the quartered arms of Bavaria surmounted by a royal crown with cross finial, the shield displaying the traditional Bavarian lozengy pattern alongside the Palatinate lion and additional dynastic quarterings. The entire heraldic composition is framed by a wreath of oak branches tied with a ribbon bow at the base. No legend appears on the obverse; the design relies entirely on the heraldic imagery as a symbol of Bavarian royal sovereignty. The coin's milled border runs along the entire circumference, providing a clean frame to the composition. |

| Reverse description | The reverse presents a bold, plain-field design with the denomination and issuer type set in three horizontal lines across the central field: the numeral '2' at the top, followed by 'PFENNING' in large capital letters, and the date below. The curved legend 'SCHEIDEMÜNZE' (meaning small change or token coinage) arcs along the upper periphery. The overall layout is clean and typographic, devoid of pictorial elements, with the milled border encircling the entire reverse. |
