Good evening everyone! Sorry for writing in English, but I'm not so good in German. Please help me with defining the originality of this coin. And if it's original, how much it may cost in that nice grade? Would be grateful for any help!

I think its an original in very good shape. But thats not a german thaler, its from the Netherlands (Gelderland), a so called Lion Dollar. Very nice coin!!! But not very expensive - have a look here:

Was it found in Russia?

I'm from Belarus actually. I'm interested in USSR coins mostly and imperial Russian coins. Last year I've decided to get a taler in nice condition to my collection, so I've bought this one, and well I'm not sure about where it was found. But now I'm out of money so there is a necessity to sell some coins which are not my collection's main line. Here in Minsk some people believe it's an original, but some have doubts.
Thanks a lot for your opinion! Please could you advise me a good forum or maybe a good specialist in coins of Netherlands? There's a man who wants to buy this coin, and I want him to have no doubts about it's originality.
