| Obverse description | Bare-headed portrait bust of King Maximilian II of Bavaria facing right, rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair and side-whiskers in the neoclassical style. The engraver's signature C. VOIGT appears in small letters below the truncation at the bottom of the field. The surrounding legend reads MAXIMILIAN II KŒNIG V. BAYERN, distributed along the upper and right periphery of the coin. The portrait is executed with exceptional sculptural quality, consistent with a prestige pattern or Probeabschlag intended for cabinet or presentation purposes. |
