Counterfeit 1780 Maria / Francis Thaler?

3 сообщений


Roughly 19mm in diameter slightly weathered. Wondering how much it is worth?
Welcome to the site, interesting piece.

Judging by the tiny size (MTTs are crownsize), and the obvious non-Maria Theresia resembling bust of Franz Joseph I on the obverse, I wouldn't call it a counterfeit... maybe a souvenir?

I found this similar medallion modelled after a MTT's reverse, but with a younger bust of FJ1 on the obverse:

It was likely made in the first decade and half of the 20th century. For value, I'd say silver value (if it is in silver), and whatever a buyer will pay for it.
Aah thank you very much for the quick response, I’ll have to look into the silver side of this piece sometime then. :)
