Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Thaler - Maria Theresia (Posthumous; Pattern) 1780 from Austrian Empire made of Gold weighing 48.71g is that it was minted posthumously, meaning after the death of Maria Theresia in 1780. This coin was part of a pattern series that was minted to test new designs and metallic compositions, and it features a portrait of Maria Theresia on one side and an image of the Austrian Empire's coat of arms on the other. Despite being a pattern coin and not intended for circulation, it is still considered a valuable collector's item among numismatists due to its rarity and historical significance.
