| Obverse description | Laureate bust of Frederick II (Frederick the Great) facing right, the effigy rendered in a thin, lightly modelled style characteristic of the Kleve mint's smaller billon issues. A laurel wreath adorns the king's head, with flowing ribbon ties visible behind. The encircling Latin legend reads FRIDERICUS BORUSSORUM REX, separated from the portrait by a plain inner field, with a beaded border running along the coin's rim. |

| Reverse description | The reverse displays the denomination and fractional value in five lines across the field: the numeral 12 at the top, flanked on each side by a six-pointed star, followed by EINEN / REICHS / THALER in bold Germanic lettering, the date 17 C 66 with the Kleve mint mark C incorporated between the date numerals, and 5 STÜV at the foot. The inscription confirms the coin's tariffing as one-twelfth of a Reichsthaler and five Stüber, with a beaded border encircling the design. |
