| Obverse description | Crowned ducal arms of Mecklenburg-Strelitz displayed at center, featuring a quartered shield with the characteristic bull's head and eagle devices of the duchy. The crowned shield occupies the central field, with the ducal title legend encircling the periphery in Latin. The lettering reads ADOLPH.FRID.IV D.G.DUX MEG, identifying the issuing duke. The overall composition is consistent with the heraldic style typical of small German states of the mid-eighteenth century. |

| Reverse description | Central field bears a four-line inscription stating the denomination as 1⁄12 of a Thaler, with the numeral 12 prominently displayed at the top flanked by decorative stars. Below, the legend EINEN THALER appears across two lines, followed by the mintmaster's initials IHL and the fineness statement CLX EINE FEINE MARCK, indicating 160 coins to the fine mark. The date 1764 appears integrated within the surrounding legend at the upper periphery. The design is purely typographic with no pictorial elements, consistent with the utilitarian billon coinage of the German states. |
