This beauty arrived with a set of 5 ZAR shillings from Portugal. Already on eBay awaiting an offer...
I know a tiny little bit about them, not enough to be very helpful but enough maybe to point you in the right direction with regards to where to look next. What have you got?
The Austrian mint still mints these Thalers today. You can buy them for around 20 euro brand new. Very nice coins anyway. https://www.muenzeoesterreich.at/eng/produkte/maria-theresa-taler

Cheating a bit as I bought this one a few months ago, but finally took the picture today. It's an 1830 half-penny from Ireland/Canada. I thought it was amusing that they were apparently copper stackers back then...

I pick during my trip to Guatemala at Pradera, 5 Centavos 1945 Silver KM#238 and 1/4 Quetzal 1928 Silver KM#243
A spectre is haunting silver the spectre of $14/oz Another Guatemalan coin. It cost something like $300/oz! It is very small.
These two are shipwreck (don't know which shipwreck) Spanish 8 reales. One was minted in Mexico but they don't have identifiable dates, between 1520 and 1720 though and likely the late 1500's or early 1600's. Both have been clipped a little. They're not in the nicest shape, but they were pretty cheap for really big 450 year old pieces of shipwreck pirate treasure. I'm really growing fond of these cob coins, I also have a really nice example of both a 4 and 2 reales and one day I hope to own a cob 8 escudo gold coin. I love these old coins that are really just silver ingots of a particular weight, nothing says silver is money like an amorphous lump of the white stuff that was accepted from Cuba to China and points in between.
