| Obverse description | Right-facing draped bust of Empress Maria Theresia, her elaborately curled hair worn loose and falling to the shoulder, dressed in an ornate bodice adorned with a jewelled necklace and lace trim, the truncation featuring decorative drapery. The effigy is rendered in high relief in a baroque portrait style characteristic of the Hall mint. The circumferential Latin legend reads M·THERESIA·D·G·R·IMP·HU·BO·REG·, separated from the toothed border by a narrow flat rim. |

| Additional information |
The Hall Thaler — struck at the Tyrolean mint in Hall in Inn — predates the famous posthumous restrike series that would eventually swamp the numismatic market. These are the genuine circulating issues produced during Maria Theresia's lifetime, authorized under her rule as Archduchess of Austria and Holy Roman Empress. The date range reflects active production, not a single working die.
Herinek references 465–473 indicate multiple die varieties across the period, a detail that rewards specialists willing to work through the attribution literature carefully.
