| Obverse description | Central field bears a four-line inscription denoting the denomination and fineness: '12 / EINEN / THALER / FEIN SILB.', with the date 1796 and the mintmaster's initial 'Z' below. The legends of the ruling counts' names and titles encircle the central inscription in Latin script, running along the coin's periphery. The layout is orderly and typographic in character, consistent with late 18th-century German small-state coinage. |

| Reverse description | A standing stag facing left occupies the central field, rendered in fine relief — the heraldic deer serving as the traditional emblem of the County of Stolberg. A cross or sceptre rises above the stag, referencing the comital arms. The surrounding circular legend, in Latin script, carries the rulers' titles and the county's name along the coin's periphery. The overall design reflects the heraldic traditions of the Holy Roman Empire's smaller territorial coinages of the late 18th century. |
