Author:
Tassilo Eypeltauer
A comprehensive German-language specialist catalogue devoted to the coinage of Maria Theresa and her co-rulers Francis I and Joseph II. Published in Basel in 1973, the work systematically documents coinage from across the Habsburg Monarchy and remains an important reference for the identification and attribution of Maria Theresa’s coins.
About the book
Corpus Nummorum Regni Mariae Theresiae by Tassilo Eypeltauer is an extensive specialist study and catalogue of the coinage produced during the reign of Maria Theresa from 1740 to 1780.
The introductory chapters provide historical and numismatic background, including Maria Theresa’s biography and titles, monetary systems, mints and mintmarks, coin designs, portraits, coats of arms, terminology, abbreviations and source references.
The main catalogue is geographically organised and covers the very diverse territories of the Habsburg Monarchy. Separate sections are devoted to the Hereditary Lands, Bohemia, Galicia, Tyrol, Hungary, Transylvania, Further Austria, the Austrian Netherlands, Luxembourg, Gorizia, Milan, Mantua and Piacenza.
The catalogue also separately covers the coinage of Francis I and the issues of Joseph II as co-ruler. Eypeltauer catalogue numbers are still widely used as specialist references in the attribution of Maria Theresa’s coinage.
