DESCRIPTION
REVERSE
A SHINY METAL FORGERY OF A MARIA THERESA THALER COIN STAMPED WITH A DATE OF 1780. THE OBVERSE HAS A PORTRAIT IN PROFILE OF THE MATURE EMPRESS MARIA THERESA. SHE WEARS A WIDOW'S VEIL AND A BROOCH WITH NINE PEARLS. BELOW THE BUST ARE THE INITIALS 'S.F.', WHICH STAND FOR THE NAMES OF THE TWO GUENZBURG MINT OFFICIALS IN 1780, TOBIAS SCHOEBL (S) AND JOSEPH FABY (F). THE REVERSE SHOWS THE IMPERIAL DOUBLE-HEADED EAGLE WITH THE ARMS OF AUSTRIA AT THE CENTRE, SURROUNDED BY FOUR QUARTERS REPRESENTING HUNGARY, BOHEMIA, BURGUNDY AND BURGAU (GUENZBURG). THE 'X' NEXT TO THE YEAR, SOMETIMES REFERRED TO AS CROSS OR SALTIRE, INDICATES THAT THE COIN HAS BEEN STRUCK FOLLOWING THE COINAGE CONVENTION OF 1753. THE EDGE OF THE COIN IS ENGRAVED WITH HATCHED LINES.
