Holy smokes. That is one sweet Austrian thaler!

I hope that is the correct ID. We will see.

Congrats on the find of a lifetime... IMO.

Further research indicates that this coin was minted into the 1900s... with the 1780 date on it.

Someone with more knowledge than I, needs to chime in on this one.

Still an awesome find IMO.
