On a lined rectangular frame is a raised panel of the same shape, with beveled edges. On this panel rests an elliptical medallion bearing the profile bust of Henry Clay. Above and below, in curved tablets, connected on the sides by triangular joints, are, respectively, the words in white capitals, "U.S. postage" and "Twelve cents", the two latter words being separated by the number "12" in Arabic figures. The words of denomination are of block letters.
