A huge flock of sheep wander past two Bavarian pillars toward the multi-rayed sun.
One pillar is topped by the King's crown and the other with the Bishop's mitre; both pillars are joined together with a metal bar. Inscribed, "Bayerntreue" (Bavarian Fidelity). Dated, June 6, 1920. KG located in exergue formed by the back-ends of the sheep. Created for the implied 'clean-out' through the Bavarian Diet.
