hi,I'm new to coins so please be gentle if this is clearly rubbish, I've tried to identify it but failed, yes it is held in a 'frame' and seems to have been worn as a pendant, thank you

HI,

The Maria Theresa is argueably the most restruck coin in the history of the world.

Here is a good site explaining all about it.

While Maria Theresa thalers are in general very common coins, this particular type is a rather unusual one: in 1960, some of the restrikes from the Vienna mint had a spelling error, with "ARGHID" instead of "ARCHID". This is one of those error coins. The variety is listed as number 55 in the Hafner list.

As you can see from the list, this type is worth considerably more than the commoner types, but being in the pendant mount will hurt the value to a collector.

thank you both very much, I'm on the information trail you have given to discover more, by the way it is loose in the pendant holder and is very easily removed
