This exquisite 1780-SF Maria Theresa Thaler from Austria is a restrike, minted after 1780, which was a common practice for this esteemed trade coin. The obverse features a beautifully rendered draped bust of Empress Maria Theresa, accompanied by the 'S.F.' mint mark for the Günzburg mint masters, Tobias Schöbl and Joseph Faby, at the bottom. The reverse showcases the majestic Imperial double-headed eagle with the arms of Austria at its center. This coin exemplifies Mint State quality, boasting sharp details and a luster that reflects its uncirculated status. The date 1780 appears frozen on all restrikes, making this piece not only visually stunning but also historically significant. The Maria Theresa Thaler holds a prominent place in numismatic history and continues to be a highly sought-after silver coin. Its composition includes approximately 0.7517 troy ounces of .833 fine silver, lending to its intrinsic value along with a desirable numismatic premium. This particular coin is carefully housed in a standard cardboard 2x2 flip.
