Is that a "1780" above the left eagles head?

 

yes it does say 1780

 

It looks like a Austrian Thaler Restrike!

 

Welcome aboard,flakes980.You have come to the right place to learn about banknotes & coins.

thanks, you guys definetly know what you are talking about

 

Yes it does

 

It looks like it is but there is like a million different types it confuses me :desk:

 

Actually the number of varieties is closer to 100+/-.

This site by forum member JD White has a tremendous amount of information on IDing the various restrikes produced over the last 265+ years.

Here's another site loaded with information about the MTs.

 

Thanks Hontonai
