| Obverse description | Draped bust of Friedrich Christian, Margrave of Brandenburg-Bayreuth, facing right, set within a wreath of laurel branches tied at the base. The effigy is rendered in the portrait style typical of mid-18th century German coinage. A circular legend surrounds the composition, reading FRID.CHRIST.M.B.DVX BORVS.ET SIL., identifying the ruler by name and titles. The field within the wreath frames the bust closely, with the laurel serving as a decorative border rather than a crown upon the head. |

The eagle is supported on a pedestal or tablet inscribed with the denomination, and flanked by decorative branches. The divided mint date appears to either side within the design, with the mintmaster's initials E*S and the mint name BAYREUTH incorporated into the legend. The outer legend reads LX.ST.EINE FEINE MARK, indicating the fineness and coinage standard of 60 Stück to the fine mark. |
