it's amazing how popular the Maria Theresia-Taler was and still is in Africa.

Lovely piece!

Last time I was in Addis Ababa I met a trader who had a large collection of different coins.
Haile Selassie, Menelik as well as some rare Maria Theresa. His prices were very high.
I bought this on during the 1980's. It is cast with the regular 1780 dye.
