Below the denomination, the four-digit date is struck in the lower field, followed by the mintmark 'H' (for Hall in Tirol) at the very base, flanked by pellets. The design is plain and typographic, with no additional decorative elements aside from the prominent milled border that mirrors the obverse. |

| Additional information |
Further Austria (Vorderösterreich) was the collective name for the Habsburg dynasty's scattered territorial holdings in southwestern Germany and Switzerland — a patchwork that made coherent administration genuinely difficult. Franz II issued this denomination during a period when French Revolutionary forces were systematically dismantling Habsburg influence in the region; by 1801, the Peace of Lunéville effectively ended Further Austria as a functioning entity. These coins were struck for a political geography that was already disappearing.
