| Reverse description | Central Tyrolean eagle shield enclosed within two concentric inner circles, flanked by four cross pattées arranged diagonally at 45° angles forming a cross pattern. The heraldic shield displays the Tyrolean eagle in relief. The surrounding legend, reading NECNON ARCHIDVCES A D B C TIR, is distributed between the inner and outer margins, referencing Rudolf II's title as Archduke of Austria and Count of Tyrol. The overall design is typical of late 16th- to early 17th-century Austrian provincial coinage. |

| Additional information |
Rudolf II's administration of the Hall mint operated under persistent tension between imperial demands for revenue and Tyrolean estates resisting centralized control over local coinage. By 1604, the mint at Hall — one of the most productive silver-striking facilities in the Habsburg lands, fed directly by Schwaz mining output — was producing small-denomination silver in volumes that left little room for quality control. KM#51 pieces are frequently encountered with weak centers, a known consequence of die spacing issues common to kreuzer production at Hall during this decade.
