COIN THALER Tradition
Austria has a tradition of issuing commemorative coins after the death of an emperor, with the date frozen.
Millions have been issued over two centuries, and they have, and still are, used as a "trade dollar" in parts of the Middle East.
They have also been issued by a number of other mints, presumably under the auspices of the Austrian government or mint.
There is at least one book about these coins, A Silver Legend: The Story of the Maria Theresa Thaler, by Semple, Clara. We have not yet seen or read a copy of this book yet, but intend to acquire one, and will add our comments about it here.
The various issues can apparently be distinguished by the mintmarks, but unless you have specialised knowledge of these coins, assume all are modern restrikes.
We have seen many of these coins bought and sold on flea markets and car boot sales at quite high prices, bought by greedy people who thought that they were going to make a quick vast profit, and sold by less-than-honest sellers, who knew the truth!
We also receive hundreds of e-mails and telephone calls every year from people demanding to know their value. We suspect that many of these enquiries are from people who have bought one at a barga
