Comment
Variants: for 1766 without mint mark, there are 2 variants, one with the arc above the crown to the right (Her#496), other to the left (Her#497, dot after date, our illustration). Both types with SC have the arc to the left (Her#498-499).Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Margraviate of Burgau, issued during the reign of Maria Theresia in 1766-1767, features an interesting design element - a small image of a shield with the Austrian coat of arms, which was added to the reverse side of the coin to indicate its issuing authority.
