| Beschrijving voorzijde | Half-length armored bust of Margrave Christian facing right, holding a baton in his right hand, with a helmet placed in the lower left field before him. Heraldic crests appear on each side and below the bust, flanking and dividing the peripheral Latin legend. The portrait is rendered in the robust early Baroque style typical of German Thaler coinage of the period. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | Elaborately helmeted fifteen-fold coat of arms of the Hohenzollern-Brandenburg territories, centrally positioned and occupying the majority of the reverse field. The mint official's initials HDE appear below the shield, dividing the field. The date is placed quarterly above the arms, split between the upper portions of the design. The legend abbreviating the full territorial titles of the Margrave runs peripherally in Latin script. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Christian of Brandenburg-Bayreuth inherited the margraviate in 1603 and spent much of his reign navigating the opening chaos of the Thirty Years' War, which had broken out just five years before this thaler was struck. Brandenburg-Bayreuth formally entered the conflict on the Protestant side, and the financial demands of that alignment — subsidies, troop levies, garrison costs — put intense pressure on the mint at Kulmbach.
The KM#42.2 designation separates this emission from the closely related 42.1 variety. Both share the same basic type but differ in die details that specialists have attributed to a change in engraver or working dies mid-production run across the 1623–24 period.
