Therostat Heat Rating

Just noticed a weird thing--most anaroid-type thermostats are market with a heat value, such as 70 or 80, meaning temperature in Celsius. Mine is marked with a very small "12" and then next to it a large "55". These numbers don't seem to make sense to me.

Any thoughts??

12C is about 55F

Yes, but 55F seems quite low for the thermostat to expand, and that is, I assume, the meaning of the number?
