Hello!
Thanks for all great answers in previous my themes. Now I'm interested if this Thaler is real?!
What I know:
This is silver and diameter is 44 mm. Also I take some pictures.
I got this "coin" together with lot of many small value coins from modern world, so that why I have some doubt that this not real coin but some kind of copy(silver token???

) And if this real then how much(~EUR) this cost?
I hope someone give me a little more information.

Hello Gundars,

this is a Austria Tirol Karl VI. Taler 1721 Hall Mint,
the diameter is right and the weight should lie at 28,1g.
If the coin is genuine, it has a value of ca. 300 €

Hello Gundars,

if I only look on the foto, I cannot say, if this is a replica or an original coin.
Buf if it's original, it's very well struck.

Thanks klosterschueler for help, I appreciate that. My German language knowledge is very bad, so if you could give me short explanation what says rainschnarcher in his comment it's would be great!

OK, I do my best....

rainschnarcher hat geschrieben: This coin was issued by company Lauer. It can be identified on the curb(I don't know, if this is the right word), which looks different, if you compare it with original one from the Hall mint. About 1800 people loved to wear such coins on a silver chain. To make such a decoration available for everyone, it was issued by such companies, but it was made of less valuable material. Most talers are of Karl VI, 1721 and Maximilan III, 1603)
Always be careful, of the coin looks too good, better you have it in your hand to give a final comment.
The woth is about 1/10 of the real one.
