Chris Perkins Posted December 7, 2003 Posted December 7, 2003 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.Chriswww.predecimal.com Quote
Guest grcalvert Posted December 8, 2003 Posted December 8, 2003 Chris,I think you mean a Maria Theresa? Mother Teresa was slightly different!Geoff Calvert Quote
Chris Perkins Posted December 8, 2003 Posted December 8, 2003 Yes! Your absolutely right, and I know who i'd rather wake up in bed next to!Chris Quote
Emperor Oli Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 Is there any way of accurately distinguishing newly struck Talers from the original older ones?? Quote
Chris Perkins Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 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.Chriswww.predecimal.com Quote
