For your consideration a nice example of the famous Maria Theresa Thaler, re-struck posthumously in Vienna mint during 1795-1803. This example is one of the early and sought after issues with lower mintage. The key-differences here are the lack of initials (S.F.) below the bust of the Empress (in the obverse) and the present mint master's initials (I.C.-F.A.) in the reverse, which were ommited on the later restrikes. A great addition for every Austrian and World coins collector and not a cheap re-strike.



The Maria Theresa thaler (MTT) is a silver bullion-coin that has been used in world trade continuously since it was first minted in 1741. It was named after Empress Maria Theresa, who ruled Austria, Hungary, and Bohemia from 1740 to 1780. It was one of the first coins used in the United States and probably contributed, along with the Spanish eight-bit dollar, to the choice of a dollar as the main unit of currency for the United States.





Maria Theresa (German: Maria Theresia, see also other languages; May 13, 1717 – November 29, 1780) was a reigning Archduchess of Austria, a Queen of Hungary and Bohemia, and a Holy Roman Empress.
