<p>[QUOTE=&quot;evelyb30, post: 720108, member: 36&quot;]Maria Theresa trade thaler, half thaler, or something thaler coin used in exchanges with Turkey and other parts of western Asia.&nbsp; Used in parts of the Middle East right up until WWI and I think minted for almost that long.&nbsp; When you see coin belts made of fake coins, the real ones used to be made of these. Dowry money.&nbsp; I found one here once. They were used as jewelry too.&nbsp; Davey can probably fill in the details and correct me where I screwed it up.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
