Today I was searching on one of my coins. It has PATRONA HUNG 1779 X S MARIA MATER DEI written on one side. Could anyone tell me what this coin is?? I saw some post on the 1780 restrikes and could'nt find out much about coins dated prior to that.
Welcome Paul West, Sooner or later, I think most of us have bought one just for the design, I have. Rzage, good reference. Jim
I assume this is the coin you are asking about (different date of course) - My question would be how big is the coin as they used the same design on 1/2 thaler and thaler denominations. Anyway, is either a 1/2 thaler or thaler struck in Hungary under Maria Theresa who ruled the Austrian Empire at the time.
Welcome Paul, I sent u a PM. I may have met your daughter in law at a garage sale this passed weekend and told her about this site. Lots information and friendship 2 b found here. See u around.
Thanks for all the help guys i will try and scan a copy of the coin and post that just been reel busy.
