| Obverse description | Draped bust of Empress Maria Theresia facing right, her hair elaborately coiffed and covered with a veil, rendered in high relief in the Baroque style. The effigy is depicted with characteristic period portraiture detail, showing the Queen of Hungary and Bohemia in regal attire. A beaded border frames the periphery of the coin. The continuous Latin legend encircles the bust, reading M THERESIA D G R I H B R A AUST, abbreviated titles denoting her imperial and royal dignities. |

| Reverse description | Central cartouche of elaborate Baroque scrollwork frames the denomination expressed as a fraction, with '1/2' above 'KREUTZER', followed by the date '1779' and the Hall mint mark 'S.' below. The ornate foliate and scroll surround is typical of Austrian copper coinage of the period, rendered in crisp relief against a flat field. A beaded border runs along the outer edge of the coin. |
