calinka New Member United Kingdom 28 Posts	Posted 01/28/2013 11:01 am Non Magnetic, weight 36.6gr, Diameter 45 mm. It does not fit in with the Thaler coin diameter or weight, is this a fake? a medal? Is it silver?. Please suggest any information. Identified - moved to World Coins forum - Sap Edited by calinka 01/28/2013 11:02 am Report this Post to the Staff

carlosguardia New Member Costa Rica 46 Posts	Posted 01/28/2013 11:41 am I have one but mine is different. Mine is 42mm in diameter; it was bought in Vienna in the 1980's at a Numismatic shop so I presume it would be real but here are the pictures of my thaller for you to compare.

Yours has the reeded edge, as opposed to the Chinese (!) usually found as edge lettering. http://www.theresia.name/cgi-bin/To...ries&Item=F9 Report this Post to the Staff
calinka New Member United Kingdom 28 Posts	Posted 01/28/2013 4:36 pm Thank you both for your help. I take it that is a cheap forgery of some alloy silver plated. Just the weight seems far to high to be just copper. Very disappointing Report this Post to the Staff
philadelphian Pillar of the Community United States 3253 Posts	Posted 01/28/2013 5:21 pm Still a good teaching tool! The first clue for me: the lettering was applied to the genuine dies with individual letter punches. Yours has letters that vary; see the E's in THERESIA? They were all cut in by hand. And the strangely oversized diameter that you picked up on is actually typical for this very counterfeit. Where's Steve Caruso? Make calinka here feel better!
