This item has a date under left foot of the double headed eagle,1978.under the other foot it has 1000 on it. it is about a quarter of an inch larger than an australian round 50 cent piece, dont know anything else about it, only it is in realy fine condition. Thank you, Mick

What you have here is a modern copy of a 1 thaler coin from the German city of Hameln dated (15)58. As with all city issues of that time the crowned double eagle side is dedicated to the Holy Roman Emperor in this case Carolus V and the other side identifies the issuing city. Many cities through out Germany and Austria have done this sort of thing to honor various historical anniversaries.
Thank you militarist, i would say you are correct, i will bring this chase to an end,i will settle with that,and do some looking into your names and date. thank you very much, for taking the time
