I have this strange coin, bought it as a Token as I thought it looked good enough for my collection. As I'm looking it over I'm wondering if it's a genuine Thaler and someone covered it up with brown paint or facsimile? Sounds like Silver but before I have it tested I wanted to ask here to see if anyone had any insight on these! It's a tad light in weight to be real as the specified weight is 28.6g but it's non-magnetic and the dimension is about right! Anyone know about these, does the edge look right? Fake or not? 41.7mm 21.4 grams
The Madonna thalers were thought to bring good luck and those that couldn't afford a genuine silver coin bought copper copies and holed them as yours is.
