<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 739577, member: 112&quot;]Regarding the coin, the original was struck in .986 gold of course weighing 7gm. Austria makes many restrikes, even today, of their older coinage. The Austrian ducat, 4 ducat and the Maria Theresia Thaler are still being made every year. As for this one, the info in the auction description is probably accurate but I can find nothing in any book to confirm it. That is not unusual. In fact, were it not for a copy of a letter from the Director of the Austrian Mint that I have, I would not even know that the coins I mentioned above were still being struck today, for it is no book.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
