| Reverse description | Four cross pattées arranged diagonally at 45°, with a Tyrolean eagle shield at the centre of the composition. The shield bears the Tyrolean arms, the red eagle on a white field. Depending on the variety, the design is accompanied by one inner circle surrounding the central shield only, two concentric inner circles enclosing both the shield and the crosses, or no inner circle at all. The peripheral legend reads NECNON ARCHIDUCESA D B C TIRO, citing the Archduke's titles and confirming the Tyrolean attribution. |

| Additional information |
Rudolph II governed the Habsburg hereditary lands from Prague rather than Vienna, a deliberate choice that left Tyrolean administration largely to his brother Archduke Maximilian III after 1602. The Hall mint — one of the oldest coin-producing centers in the Tirol, drawing on silver from the Inn Valley trade routes — continued striking these small-denomination kreuzers throughout the decade under shifting administrative oversight as the brothers negotiated Tyrolean authority. The span of KM references across this issue reflects genuine die and administrative changes rather than a single continuous production run.
