Maria Theresa Taler. Google it! The date was frozen at 1780 but the coins are usually always modern re-strikes.

You are correct Chris. Most are Sterling Silver restrikes. Their value is basically bullion value, sometime a little more!

thanks guys thats put my mind to rest

must be a restrike it looks to new

cheers H

I thought they were all .833 silver.

I always heard it was 92%, but I could be wrong. I just looked at mine (Ive had it 40 years!), and it doesn't say any fineness or grain weight on it. It is a restrike though, and is uncirculated. A nice coin!
