A cast lead alloy forgery of an Austrian Maria Theresa thaler. Around the edge of the coin it is possible to see a seam where the 2 halves of the mould used to cast it joined, and the remains of the casting sprue are also visible on the edge above the bust/eagle's crown.
Maria Theresa was Empress from 1740 to her death in 1780, jointly with her husband Franz I from 1745 to 1765, and then with her son Joseph II from 1765 to 1780. The original coin of which this forgery is a copy was probably minted in Burgau, an Austrian possession near Ulm in Bavaria. [germany]
