| Obverse description | Elaborate interlaced FA cypher in cursive script occupies the central field, surmounted by a princely crown with ermine lining and arched band. The date 1758 is inscribed in arabic numerals beneath the monogram along the lower field. The design is unadorned by a surrounding legend, with the milled edge visible at the coin's periphery. The monogram is rendered in a refined calligraphic style characteristic of mid-18th century German princely coinage. |

| Reverse description | The denomination is expressed across three horizontal lines in the central field: the numeral '12' at the top flanked by two six-petalled rosettes, followed by 'EINEN' and 'THALER' in bold capital letters. The mint and authority abbreviation 'F·A·Z·L·M:' appears in the lower field, standing for Fürstlich Anhalt-Zerbstsche Land-Münze (Princely Anhalt-Zerbst Provincial Mint). The layout is plain and utilitarian, with no surrounding legend, relying entirely on the central inscription to convey value and issuing authority. |
