| Obverse description | The German Federal Eagle, wings spread and displayed, is depicted in the center of the field, superimposed over a frontal view of Rastatt Palace rendered in fine detail. The denomination numeral '5' appears prominently in the lower central field, flanked by the mint mark 'G' to its left, with the legend '5 DEUTSCHE MARK' arcing below. The circular legend 'BUNDESREPUBLIK DEUTSCHLAND' runs along the upper periphery, and the date '1955' is inscribed at the base, all within a beaded border. The composition is executed in a clean, engraved style characteristic of mid-20th century German commemorative coinage. |

| Reverse description | A bold right-facing bust of Ludwig Wilhelm, Margrave of Baden, rendered in high relief in the Baroque portrait tradition, dominates the field. The subject is depicted wearing a cuirass adorned with decorative studs and an elaborately curled allonge wig falling to the shoulders, consistent with late 17th-century aristocratic convention. The finely engraved portrait fills the coin's field generously, conveying the monumental character of the military commander known as 'Türkenlouis.' The circular legend 'LUDWIG WILHELM MARKGRAF VON BADEN 1655-1707' runs along the periphery within a beaded border, providing the subject's name and life dates. The design is enclosed by a continuous beaded rim. |
