| Reverse description | A double-headed imperial eagle displayed, its wings spread, bearing on its breast a central escutcheon with the arms of Tyrol (red eagle on silver field), flanked by quartered arms incorporating Hungary, Bohemia, Austria, and ancient Burgundy. The entire device is enclosed within a lozenge (rhombus) cartouche, whose four points intersect the surrounding legend, with the date 1760 and the mintmark X incorporated into the legend. The composition is executed in the baroque heraldic style typical of Habsburgian coinage of the mid-eighteenth century. |

| Additional information |
Maria Theresia's 30 Kreuzer denominations from the Hall mint reflect the monetary pressures of the Seven Years' War, which had forced Vienna into repeated currency debasements through the late 1750s. The 1760 issue emerged just as Austria was absorbing the financial strain of prolonged conflict with Prussia — a war that would end, inconclusively, just three years later. Hall, operating in the Inn Valley since the late medieval period, remained one of the Habsburg monarchy's most important silver-striking facilities precisely because of its proximity to Tyrolean mining output.
