| Reverse description | The Imperial double-headed eagle of the Holy Roman Empire displayed in the center of the field, with both heads turned outward and surmounted by a single imperial crown. The numeral '30' appears on the breast of the eagle, indicating the denomination in Kreuzer. The eagle's wings are spread wide, rendered in the vigorous late Renaissance hammered style characteristic of Salzburg coinage of this period. The surrounding Latin legend, divided by stops, references Emperor Rudolf II and his imperial titles. A beaded inner circle separates the central device from the peripheral legend. |

| Additional information |
Johann Jakob Khuen von Belasi served as Archbishop of Salzburg from 1560 to 1586, one of the longer tenures of the Counter-Reformation period in the region. The Archbishopric's mint at this time was operating under intense pressure to produce divisional silver for everyday commerce — the full Guldentaler being too large for most transactions — and the half denomination filled a genuine gap in the circulating money supply of the Alpine territories.
Zöttl 676–678 represents at least three die pairings across the four-year span, reflecting consistent demand rather than a single short run.
