Is it the same as this one? http://www.ma-shops.c...br/item.php5?id=10157

Don't know what it is but it won't be aluminium as Sir Humphrey Davy wasn't born in 1760.

... I'd guess it's actually Silver

thanks naz.. I have found out it is a fake maria theresia thaler I'm not sure when they were made but they were made as play tokens out of aluminium..

just for interest, the Maria Theresa thaler became accepted worldwide for its purity.
The name became corrupted into "dollar"
It is a really lovely coin.
