Comment
Absent from Herinek with this obverse.Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Austrian Empire, minted in 1765 during the reign of Maria Theresia, is known for its unusual design. The coin features a portrait of the empress on one side and a depiction of the Graz Mint's coat of arms on the other. This design was unique among coins of the time, as it did not include the usual image of the ruling monarch on the obverse (front side). Instead, the reverse (back side) featured the coat of arms, which was a departure from the traditional design used on other coins. This interesting fact adds to the coin's historical significance and collectibility.
