| Reverse description | The reverse is entirely occupied by a large woodcut-style vignette rendered in black on a tan ground, illustrating Emperor Ferdinand I performing the ceremonial first tunnel strike (Stollenanstich) on 17 May 1563, surrounded by a crowd of miners and courtiers in Renaissance costume amid timber pit props and dense woodland. A caption in Gothic script runs along the lower border identifying the scene. The printer's imprint 'WAGNER, INNSBRUCK' appears at lower left. |

Hall in Tirol's notgeld program was among the more systematically managed in the Austrian Tyrol — the city issued across multiple denominations and at least two documented series, with Wagner in Innsbruck handling production locally rather than relying on Vienna printers as many smaller municipalities did. The 70 Heller value is an unusual denomination, not a round figure one would expect from routine change shortages, suggesting this was calibrated to fill a specific gap in local circulation rather than issued as part of a standard tiered set.
The Jaksc/Pick reference suffix "IIb" indicates a second series, second variant — worth noting for collectors distinguishing between emissions.
