Maria Theresa Thaler Bracelet and Pin

This bracelet and pin are made from cut out coins.From the internet I have learned "Talers with Maria Theresia's portrait were struck since 1741. Initially, the coins had a changing appearance. Starting with 1765 (after her husband died), the Taler was struck with Maria Theresia's portrait showing a widow's veil. The appearance started to be similar only after Maria Theresia died in 1780. Since then, the taler has been restruck with date 1780. Initially, there were easy to identify variations in the coin's appearance. Due to improvements in coin striking technology, the coin's appearance has been almost unchanged since 1850. For this reason, the strike date of coins struck after 1780 is often not easy - if at all - to determine. " Bracelet measures 8 inches by 1 1/2 inches. Pin measures 2 3/4 inches by 1 1/2 inches.
