Sorry I think I posted this to the wrong area. Is there a way to move this to the right topic if you could let me know where to post it or I would have to redo it again?

It's OK, I can move it for you.

To answer your questions: yes, it's a restrike, in the sense of not actually being struck in 1780. In terms of "which restrike and where from", that's always trickier. This website is my go-to reference for trying to determine the origin of Maria Theresa thalers. Yours is certainly one of the variants in the "1853 to today" entry (Leypold 4).

Thank so much for moving my post and also for responding to it. Is there any way of narrowing down to the date this was made?

@eas, first welcome to CCF. Second, have you looked at the website and tried to determine which Hafner variant you have? If you are able to do this, then the date range might be narrower and even as low as a single year depending on the specifics.

Good morning from the UK. Off the top of my head this looks like a restrike supplied by Birmingham mint between the late 1930s and early 1950s, judging by the cross in the small shield on the reverse, which has two arms and doesn't come to a "T" shape at its top. I should be able to look it up and confirm (or otherwise) later on today. Details missing from the crown support the idea. Catch you later.

Oops! For "in" read next to! Also, the single dot after "ET" on the edge supports the Heaton's of Brum origin.
