I don't know if its by standard or by convention, but every breaker I've ever seen has the rating molded into the tip of the handle. Sometimes its highlighted in a contrasting color, some times its not.
I'm assuming that since you looked at the wiring size, there's only one wire connecting to that breaker? If so, you really need to do some re-wiring, or you'll continue to periodically pop that breaker even if you go to a 20 amp one. A kitchen appliance or two plus a power tool in the garage can easily exceed 20 amps.
One other thing to make sure before you go to a 20 amp breaker is that ALL the wiring connected to that circuit is in fact #12, and that someone didn't run part of the circuit with #14. With the power off, you can pull individual outlets out far enough to see what size wire is running to them.
