The story behind 1780 Austria Maria Theresa Silver Thaler
The Maria Theresa thaler carries the date 1780, the year of the empress’s death, but that date does not prove an individual coin was struck then. The design has been restruck for generations and became an international trade coin. Its continuing production is an important part of the story.
