Maria Theresa Thalers: internationally recognised silver bullion coins available for a low premium over the silver price.

Maria Theresa Thalers are historic silver trade coins first minted in 1741, featuring a portrait of Empress Maria Theresa of Austria. Widely used across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa, the coin became so trusted in global commerce that it continued to be restruck posthumously.

  • Known as a 'frozen date' coin since all authorised restrikes are dated 1780 as a guarantee of value
  • Struck in around 28.07 grams of 83.3% silver (actual silver weight: 23.3 grams/0.752 troy oz)
  • Classic investment coins, offered in good bullion condition, may show marks, wear and toning

Portrait Of Maria Theresa

These coins feature a portrait of Empress Maria Theresa, the only female ruler of the Habsburg Empire, along with the inscription 'M · THERESIA · D · G · R · IMP · HU · BO · REG ·'. The initials 'S · F ·' represent two mint officials, Tobias Schoebl and Joseph Faby.

Double-Headed Eagle Reverse

The reverse of Maria Theresa Thalers features the coat of arms of Maria Theresa on the chest of a double eagle: an important symbol of her empire. The inscription reads 'ARCHID · AVST · DUX · BURG · CO · TYR · 1780 · X'.

What Are Thalers Made Of?

The Münze Österreich produces restrike Maria Theresa Thalers in just over 28 grams of solid 83.33% silver. This equates to a pure silver content of about 23.3 grams (0.7520 troy oz) with the remaining metal being copper.

Why Are Thalers Dated 1780?

The first Maria Theresa Thalers were struck during the Empress's reign, during which they became a trusted trade coin. The Austrian Mint retained the design and froze the date to protect the coin's reputation and recognisability.

Low Premium Silver Bullion

Since they have been minted for centuries, restrike Thalers are very common, meaning they can be sold for lower premiums than other bullion coins. This makes them popular with both stackers and coin collectors worldwide.
