Comment
These are usually found struck over Austrian Maria Theresa Talers and occasionally over other foreign crowns. All Y-17s have 1367 in the center obverse. The date for each piece is located in the lower left of the reverse.Varieties exist.
Most AH1373 coins appear to be weakly struck from recut AH1372 dies, and the dates are easily confused
