| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed bust of Maximilian IV Joseph, Elector of Bavaria, facing right, with naturalistically rendered flowing hair and truncated drapery at the shoulder. The encircling Latin legend is interrupted by the portrait and reads MAX. IOS. H. I. B. C. &., referencing his full electoral and palatine titles. The portrait is rendered in a restrained neoclassical style characteristic of late 18th- and early 19th-century German coinage. The field is plain and unadorned, with the legend distributed along the upper and right periphery of the coin. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Maximilian IV Joseph came to the Bavarian electorship in 1799 largely through French patronage, and his early coinage reflects the administrative scramble that followed — the 1803–1804 dating bracket aligns directly with the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of 1803, the imperial recess that dissolved hundreds of ecclesiastical territories and free cities, flooding Bavaria with newly absorbed lands and populations requiring a functioning currency infrastructure. Within three years he would be King of Bavaria under Napoleon's reorganization of German states.
The billon content of .333 places this firmly in the degraded small-change tradition of late Holy Roman coinage — not a debasement so much as a continuation of a standard that had persisted for generations in the Kreuzer denominations.
