Maria Theresia was the daughter of Emperor Charles IV and his wife, Elisabeth von Braunschweig-Wolfenbuettel. At the age of 23, Maria Theresia took over the throne from her father in 1740 . She was Queen of Hungary and Bohemia and Archduchess of Austria.

Since 1741, the Thalers with Maria Theresia's portrait and in 1765 she was shown with a widow veil until she died in 1780. The Thalers has been restruck with the date 1780 since then.

More on the Maria Theresia Thaler:

The Maria Theresia Taler was the official currency in Austria until October 31, 1858. It was used as currency in large parts of Africa until after the second world war. It was common from North Africa to Somalia, Aethiopia, Kenia, all the way to the coastline of Tanzania. It could also be found everywhere in the Muslim areas of Asia and in India.

On September 19, 1857, Emperor Franz Josef I of Austria declared the Maria Theresia Taler to be an official trade coinage. Subsequently, it was restruck not only in Austria, but also in Rome, London, Paris, Brussels, Bombay, and other locations. This can be seen as an indicator of the importance of this coin.

Several hundred Million pieces of the Maria Theresia Thaler were struck since 1751. In the first two hundred years alone the confirmed count reaches 320,000,000. Some sources even claim that more than 800,000,000 pieces have been struck.

Today, the Maria Theresia Thaler is still struck as needed in the Vienna mint.
