The Maria Theresa Thaler (MTT) is a silver bullion coin first minted in 1741 and named after Maria Theresa, who ruled Austria, Hungary, and Bohemia from 1740 to 1780. The coin has been used in global trade for centuries and remains in production today by the Austrian Mint. Notably, all MTTs minted since Maria Theresa's death in 1780 bear the date 1780.

The MTT has a rich minting history, with production occurring in multiple countries outside Austria, including Italy, France, and the UK, to support their economic interests in the Red Sea and East Africa. Its design features Maria Theresa on the obverse, while the reverse bears the Habsburg Double Eagle.
