Message:: [QUOTE="kevin McGonigal, post: 2023201, member: 72790"]I hope this is the right forum to write this in. I am aware of the Readers Digest fake Austrian ducats of a few years back. This coin is not one of those. I seems to be of good coin gold. It is the about the same size and weight of the type three US gold dollar, 1.5 grams. The reverse is identical to the Austrian ducats of the mid 18th century (not the "In te, Domine, reverse...") but the abbreviated list of her titles. The obverse features Maria Theresia, Imperatrix Rom but what throws me off is that the bust faces LEFT and every other coin of hers, and indeed just about Austrian coins, are of bust right. Her image looks very much like something from a mid 19th Century British coin of Victoria. From my description any guesses on what I have?[/QUOTE]
