A double Liard, 1780. The obverse is picturing an elderly veiled empress Maria Theresia. That last portrait was used from 1777 onwards. Unlike the Kronenthaler, copper coinage was circulating locally. The reverse lettering reads: "for use in Austrian Belgium". The century digits have worn out ... but for an 18th century copper coin this is a decent grade.  Edited by Gwyde

Lombardy-Venice
I don't believe Venice was Austrian at this time. I believe it fell to Napoleon 20 years later.
