Maria Theresa succeeded her father, Charles VI, as ruler of the kingdoms of Austria and Hungary in 1740. During her 40-year reign, she defended her empire successfully in the War of the Austrian Succession. The Silver Thaler was the currency of the empire and its dominions.
This coin was one of the most important trade coins in Europe, and one of the best known in the world. The Austrian Thaler and the Spanish 8 Reales were the basis for the Silver dollar which was adopted by the fledgling United States under the Mint Act of 1792. In fact, the word "dollar" is derived from the German/Austrian word "Thaler."
These beautiful re-strike Proofs from the Austrian Mint feature the historic Maria Theresa Thalers. Each coin comes in a protective capsule.
Coin Highlights:
- Each coin contains .7517 oz of Silver.
- Each of these coins comes in its own protective capsule.
- Obverse: Features the right facing profile of Maria Theresa.
- Reverse: Displays the Imperial double-headed eagle with the arms of Austria at the center.

I purchased this proof coin because it was a restrike of a 1780 coin which had lots of historical significance. The reverse of the queen's portrait has both a shiny lustre next to a dull finish...quite lovely. The state seal on the obverse has wonderful detail and even the edging of this proof has a design element to it...well done.
