| Reverse description | The denomination '1/4' appears prominently at the top of the field as a fraction, followed by the word 'STUBER' inscribed in large capital letters across the centre, with the date '1792' below and the Berlin mint mark 'A' at the base. The inscription is arranged in three horizontal lines filling the entire reverse field, with no surrounding border legend, reflecting the utilitarian typographic style common to Prussian subsidiary copper coinage of the period. |

| Additional information |
East Frisia had been absorbed into Prussia in 1744, ending centuries of semi-autonomous rule under the House of Cirksena. By 1792, Frederick William II was issuing copper fractions for the province largely out of administrative habit — the region's distinct coinage tradition was winding down, and Prussian monetary consolidation would render these local issues obsolete within a generation.
