No.1 Is a Mother Theresa Taler from the Austro Hungarian Empire. It was at one stage the only acceptable coin for trade with eupore and arab countries and for this reason is was made continuously with the same date.

It is still made to this day with the same date and has even been produced in massive numbers in London!

I'm sure there must be a book on them, but they are usually worth £6-7 for silver content.

Chris,

I think you mean a Maria Theresa? Mother Teresa was slightly different!

Yes! Your absolutely right, and I know who i'd rather wake up in bed next to!

Is there any way of accurately distinguishing newly struck Talers from the original older ones??

[Chris Perkins 223]

I think there is, in fact there are loads of variety clues so i've heard. You'd have to buy a special book just on the subject of Maria Theresa Talers.

I have no idea....

And I don't even know if the book's in English.

Sorry.
