SIlver Thaler

[Mosquito]

Hello Forum

I thought I would share some photos of my first ever silver coins given to me when I was 7 years old, 25 years ago (suddenly I feel old).

I know a bit about these coins, but the one I'm curious about is the painted version. I have not come across anything like it in any coin dealer's or online either.

I know there are a lot of members that know their stuff on here and maybe I could get some opinions on its value with its current condition.

 

Any information would be appreciated.

Many Thanks.

That's a modern restrike of the 1780 Austria Silver Maria Theresa Thaler.

The painted versions are usually done by independents trying to add curiosity value to them. Not to everyone’s taste, but some people like them. I prefer Thaler not messed with, however generally they are only worth a bit over bullion value. I have over 50 Thalers and love the coins.
