<p>[QUOTE=&quot;satootoko, post: 12198, member: 669&quot;]Your references to restrikes and purchase at an Austrian bank sound like you are talking about a Maria Therese Thaler, which is still being officially restruck in Austria, but was originally issued in the mid-18th Century.&nbsp; It <i>was</i> about 40mm wide, but it weighed about 28 grams.&nbsp; 4 Ducat coins were narrower, but <i>did</i> weigh about 14g.&nbsp; If you could post a picture of your coin, it would help greatly in identifying it.</p><p>Approximately&nbsp; 1.57 inches.Europeans use a comma as a decimal point, so the specified weight is just under 14 grams, which is the equivalent of .45 <b>troy</b> ounces, or a hair under 1/2 <b>avoirdupois</b> ounce.&nbsp; Precious metals are weighed on jeweler&#039;s scales, in troy ounces.&nbsp; Your bathroom/kitchen/postage scales weigh in grams/kilograms, avoirdupois ounces/pounds, or both. A 1-1/2&quot; coin weighs <b><i>only</i></b> half a pound?&nbsp; We really, really need to see a picture.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
