TwoKopeiki Pillar of the Community Czech Republic 803 Posts	Posted 08/11/2011 4:56 pm Looks like one of the re-strikes of the MT Thaler. Quite collectible with websites dedicated to identifying various years and mints that reproduced these. Report this Post to the Staff

TNG Bedrock of the Community United States 10284 Posts	Posted 08/12/2011 12:15 am It appears to me, at first to be this one. However the - X after the date in the ebay image is conveniently omitting whether or not the coin has no dash after the X. The SF X restrike has a - X - after the date and the original looks very close to this but only has an - X without an additional dash after the X from what I can understand. I would bet this is a restrike worn and darkened to look like an original. Just my feeling. Ask the seller for a more complete image of the reverse with the date on it.
