| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central shield bearing the quartered arms of Cleves, displaying the escutcheon of the duchy with characteristic heraldic detailing, all within a beaded inner circle. The circumferential Gothic legend reads around the periphery, separated by small decorative stops. The hammered flan displays the characteristic irregular edge typical of late medieval German coinage. |

| Beschrijving keerzijde | The shield bearing the arms of Mark — featuring a chequered field — is superimposed at the center of a plain cross patté, the arms of the cross extending to the beaded inner circle and dividing the field into four quadrants. The Gothic circumferential legend is distributed between the quadrants, separated by decorative stops. The overall composition is characteristic of late 15th-century Rhenish hammered silver coinage. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
John II ruled Cleves from 1481 until his death in 1521, a reign long enough that his coinage spans several distinct monetary phases tied to regional Rhenish currency agreements. The Stüber denomination itself was a product of the Low Countries' monetary pragmatism — a small silver unit that circulated aggressively across the Lower Rhine territories where political boundaries meant little to merchants crossing between Cleves, Berg, and the Prince-Bishopric of Münster.
Noss remains the authoritative reference for Cleves coinage of this period, and the Be#163-4 distinction suggests at least two recognized die variants for this type.
