| Obverse description | Central field displays the quartered arms of Tyrol and Austria within an ornate Baroque cartouche, surmounted by an imperial crown topped with a cross. The Tyrolean eagle is visible in the upper quarters, while the Austrian fess occupies the lower quarters. Elaborate acanthus-leaf scrollwork flanks the shield on both sides, and no peripheral legend is present, the entire design filling the flan in a bold, high-relief Baroque style. |

| Reverse description | Central denomination inscription '1 / SOLDO' arranged in two lines within an ornate Baroque cartouche of curling foliate scrollwork. Below the denomination, the date '1767' is struck in bold numerals, and beneath it the Hall mint mark 'H' flanked by decorative stops. A floral or foliate ornament crowns the top of the cartouche, and the entire design is framed by the reeded border of the coin's edge. |

| Additional information |
These small copper issues were struck at the Hall mint in the Inn Valley — one of the oldest continuously operating mints in the Habsburg territories, active since the late medieval period. Maria Theresia's monetary reforms of the early 1760s, driven partly by the financial exhaustion of the Seven Years' War, pushed standardization across the hereditary lands, and the Tyrolese soldo issues of this period sit at the intersection of old regional monetary tradition and centralizing Habsburg fiscal policy. Hall itself lost its minting privileges definitively in 1809, making these among the final decades of genuinely Tyrolean coin production.
