| Obverse description | The crowned coat of arms of Further Austria (Vorderösterreich) occupies the central field, displayed as a quartered shield bearing the dynastic and territorial arms of the House of Habsburg. A circular Latin legend surrounds the shield, reading the full imperial titles of Franz II as Emperor of the Romans and Hereditary Emperor of Austria. The engraving is executed in a clean neoclassical style characteristic of late Habsburg coinage of the period. |

| Reverse description | The denomination and date are displayed within a decorative frame or cartouche at the centre of the field, with the German inscription EIN KREUTZER giving the value in full. Below or adjacent to the date appears the mint mark H, denoting the Günzburg mint. The year 1805 represents the final year of issue for Further Austria, as the territory was dissolved following Napoleon's defeat of Austria and subsequent redistribution of the region among Austria and the southern German states. |
