| Obverse description | Central field features the crowned Arms of Austria-Tyrol, displayed as a quartered shield bearing the Habsburg dynastic arms, surmounted by an imperial crown. The shield is flanked on both sides by decorative scrollwork and a beaded chain border, with ornate foliate mantling extending to either side. The overall composition is unlettered, relying entirely on the heraldic device as the primary design element. The engraving is rendered in a plain, functional style characteristic of small-denomination copper coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | The reverse bears a straightforward three-line inscription in the field, reading the denomination and date in large block lettering: dot-flanked numeral '1' at the top, 'HELLER' across the centre, and the date '1793.' below, with the mint mark 'H' (for Hall in Tirol) centered at the bottom between two dots. The lettering is bold and plain, occupying the majority of the flan with no additional decorative elements. This austere typographic design is characteristic of utilitarian Habsburg copper fractional coinage of the late 18th century. |
