| Reverse description | Central device features the oval shield of Styria — depicting a white panther on a green field — superimposed over two crossed diagonal bars, the smaller cross contained within a beaded inner circle and the larger cross extending to divide the surrounding legend. Flanking palm branches frame the shield on either side. The four-line abbreviated legend ARCHI / D AVST / D BVRG / STYRIÆ, expanding to Archidux Austriae Dux Burgundiae Styriae, is arranged in quadrants between the arms of the larger cross, with the mint date and mintmaster's mark appearing below divided by the cross. |

| Additional information |
Joseph I inherited the Habsburg throne in 1705 with Austria simultaneously fighting the War of the Spanish Succession in the west and suppressing the Rákóczi uprising in Hungary to the east. The Graz mint — serving Styria and the Inner Austrian lands — remained active through these years precisely because military expenditure demanded small-denomination coinage in volume. The kreuzer was the workhorse of everyday transaction, and silver issues at this weight were already pushing the lower boundary of practical silver coinage.
