tvladusi New Member Croatia (Locally: Hrvatska) 3 Posts	Posted 01/02/2019 1:29 pm Dear Coin Community Forum, I apologize if this is more suitable in general discussion or elsewhere. I have two MTTs which look like 20 century re-strikes. The older(?) one has 11 dots in the left beak, the other one seems rather modern but I don't seem to notice "two dots in shield" indicating Vienna mint.. Any info is much appreciated! Thank you!!

austrokiwi Pillar of the Community 2087 Posts	Posted 01/05/2019 12:10 pm There is nothing that stands out about either coin. They appear to be standard Vienna mint strikes struck sometime after the 1870s through the 20th century. As a general rule Original strikes( struck in 1780, and very rare ) and early restrikes (181 through 1812) are the most collectable. Modern restrikes from 1812/1820 on, are less collectable. The later modern restrikes come in many different varieties but, are ( generalisation)difficult to attribute to date of striking. Of the modern restrikes, the most interesting are those struck in Paris, Brussels, Birmingham, Utrecht, Switzerland, London, Calcutta Bombay and Rome. Report this Post to the Staff
tvladusi New Member Croatia (Locally: Hrvatska) 3 Posts	Posted 01/06/2019 06:09 am @austrowiki I am aware these are modern restrikes. I don't know much about the MTTs, but reading about 'em got me feeling two pin feathers at the base of the tail, 11 dots in the left beak and stubby middle claws would suggest pre-1960 coin As for the second one, definitively modern, but without "two dots in central shield". Also, filty dyes? resulted in lower half of the text appearing thiner (seen in CO left of the eagle and 0 in the year), I was hoping someone will be familiar with that :) thank you for the info!
