| Obverse description | Central field displays the quartered Habsburg arms — featuring alternating horizontal stripes and vertical pales — surmounted by an Imperial crown with elaborate scrollwork supporters on either side. The crowned shield is rendered in fine relief with ornate baroque cartouche elements. A circular Latin legend surrounds the design, reading the abbreviated titles of Emperor Joseph II as Holy Roman Emperor, King of Hungary and Bohemia, and Archduke of Austria. The mint mark 'H' for Günzburg appears at the base of the design within the legend. The coin's rim is bordered by a fine milled edge. |

| Reverse description | The denomination '1/2 KREUTZER' is displayed in three lines within an elaborate baroque cartouche or shield-shaped ornamental frame, accompanied by the date of issue below and the Günzburg mint mark 'H' at the foot. The cartouche is flanked by foliate and scrollwork ornaments, with decorative elements at the top and bottom lending the design a distinctly Josephinian baroque character. The entire composition is set within a plain field, enclosed by the milled rim. The inscription is rendered in bold, well-spaced capital letters typical of late 18th-century Austrian coinage. |
