A standard silver thaler is just under an ounce. But looking at the pictures, you don't have a coin. That's some sort of medal. Report this Post to the Staff

Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 06/07/2019 09:18 am The symbol under the viewer's right rosette is "980" and it has been shot with an XRF gun, 98% pure gold not plated.. The other symbol is very cryptic and appears to just be an S or squiggly line in a circle Report this Post to the Staff

Arkie Pillar of the Community United States 2597 Posts	Posted 06/08/2019 10:51 pm It is my understanding that, before 1975, when it was illegal to own many gold coins in the US, it was legal to own gold medallions that were not actual coins or restrikes, and that "Maria Theresa thalers" were minted in gold at that time for the US market.

retiredkper Pillar of the Community United States 527 Posts	Posted 09/21/2019 01:07 am I do not think this is a restrike of a thaler but rather a copy of various thaler design elements in gold. For example I can not think of any M.T. thalers with her reign dates in the legend. Report this Post to the Staff
