| Obverse description | A rampant lion facing right, rendered in bold relief within a raised inner circle. The lion is depicted in a stylized Romanesque manner with curling tail and prominent claws. Inward-facing lily ornaments fill the surrounding field between the inner circle and the irregular flan edge, serving as decorative border elements. No legend or inscription is present. The overall design reflects the heraldic tradition of the Duchy of Bavaria under Duke Ludwig I. |

| Reverse description | A crowned standing figure, identified as Duke Ludwig I, depicted in full frontal view in a stiff hieratic Romanesque style. The ruler holds a lily scepter in one hand and a banner or flag in the other, symbols of ducal sovereignty. To the left of the figure, a cluster of lily blossoms decorates the field. The flan is irregular and the surface shows characteristic hammered fabric with no encircling legend. The composition is unlettered, relying entirely on iconographic symbols to convey authority. |
