The beautiful Maria Theresia Thaler

I found this beautiful M Theresia Thaler 1780 re-struck in an antiquities market this week. Is it possible that someone with knowledge in regards to variants of this coin can help me identify where it was minted and approximate time period? The seller had no idea. I tried to capture her well, but might have failed her beauty.

All I know is her daughter lost her head. Literally. That was Marie Antoinette.

 

:smile Here is my MT from 1744

 

Excellent site Hontonal, thanks for the info.

 

Maria Theresa crowns have been minted at more than a dozen world mints since the original issue of 1780, so unless there's distinct die varieties, there's no way to identify the source. They are a favorite coin to hoard in the Middle East.

 

Which is sometimes what happens to me with regard to this blasted hobby.........

 

True. But Maria Theresia was a little more than just Marie Antoinette's mother.

True. She had like 15 other kids!

 

Fer sure a "Blue ribbon bossie." MOOOOO :foot-mouth:

One can never have too many MT's
