I have a dozen "restrikes" all of the thalers from 1600-1800. Some of these were issued in plastic holders with the name of a bank. Some of them were .999 silver, and it might be marked on the edge or hidden somewhere on the design. I see that your restrike is marked 2005.
I bought them from a knowledgeable dealer, and was sold them for a premium over silver, maybe 20% or 30% over.
Issuing marked restrikes seemed to be popular in germany for a while. All the german ones are quite clearly marked with the modern issue date. Of course having this mark is not proof they were made in germany but it is a starting point. I do not know or cannot remember if the original dies were used.
