Picked this up today from a buy. I was hoping someone might know whether or not it is an original or a restrike. I'm leaning towards restrike but would like a second opinion. Thanks. austria1.jpg austria2.jpg

Probably an original.
Actually, since 1780, the coin has always been dated 1780.
It's worth its bullion value and a small premium due to its beauty, quality and history.

PPS: An original for the year it was minted--but not an original minted in the year 1780--to hopefully clarify.
