"Tis Austrian, indeed, but not from Austria. It's from the Austrian Netherlands.
The half-kronenthaler and 1 kronenthaler had identical designs, but the half was smaller. So is your coin silver-dollar-sized, or half-dollar sized?
Austria (and the Austrian Netherlands) made two parallel coinages at this time, one in the name of the Empress, Maria Theresa, and the other in the name of her husband Francis. This coin is obviously from the latter series.
Roman emperor Marcus Aurelius, "Meditations"
Apparently I have been awarded one DPOTD.
It’s the size of a silver dollar
Thanks
