History

Upon her death in November 1780, the imagery of the 1 Thaler was frozen in this likeness and struck with the same images and dates through 1858. The Maria Theresa Thaler went on to become a major trade currency between European nations and also between Europe and the kingdoms and nations of the Middle East.
