| Obverse lettering | DENKMAL DER DREISSIGTAUSEND BAIERN WELCHE IM RUSS. KRIEGE DEN TOD FANDEN. / V. LUDWIG I. KÖNIG V. BAIERN |
| Reverse description | The reverse features an entirely typographic design with no central pictorial device. In the field, three lines of boldly incused Latin text read 'T. ERTEL / IN / MÜNCHEN. / 1833.' identifying the engraver and place and date of manufacture. The peripheral legend, distributed around the full circumference, reads 'PROBE DES THALERPRÄGWERKS F. D. KÖN. MÜNZE IN GRIECHENLAND.' — identifying the piece as a trial strike of the thaler coining press intended for the Royal Mint in Greece. The overall composition is austere and purely documentary in character, consistent with its function as a technical proof piece. |
