| Obverse description | Full-length frontal figure of the sanctified Duke Leopold of Austria (Divus Leopoldus) depicted as a bishop, standing within an oval beaded inner border. The saint is shown wearing episcopal vestments and a mitre, raising his right hand in benediction while holding a model of a church or cathedral in his left arm. The composition is rendered in a bold, high-relief hammered style typical of early seventeenth-century Tyrolean goldsmithing. The surrounding circular legend reads DIVVS LEOPOLDVS, distributed around the periphery within a beaded outer border. |

| Additional information |
Maximilian III, Archduke of Austria and Master of the Teutonic Order, ruled Tyrol from 1602 until his death in 1618 — the year this series ends. Hall in Tirol was one of the most technically accomplished mints in the Habsburg lands, its precision driven in part by a thriving salt trade that kept the county solvent when other imperial territories struggled. The overlap of years on this issue reflects continuous die use across administrations rather than a distinct recoinage event.
Maximilian died without legitimate heirs, ending the Tyrolean cadet line and folding the county directly back into the main Habsburg inheritance.
