| Obverse description | Right-facing draped and uniformed bust of King Maximilian I Joseph, depicted in military dress with epaulettes and decorations visible at the collar. The portrait is rendered in high relief with fine detailing of the facial features and costume. The circular legend reads MAXIMILIAN IOSEPH KÖNIG VON BAIERN, distributed around the full periphery of the field. The overall style reflects early 19th-century Neoclassical portraiture typical of Bavarian court coinage. |

The shield is supported on either side by a rampant lion facing inward, each wearing a crown. Below the shield, crossed palm and laurel branches form a decorative base. The date 1806 appears in the exergue, and the patriotic motto FÜR GOTT UND VATERLAND curves along the upper legend arc. |
