التاريخ

في 1741 تم صك أول تالر ماريا تريزا حسب معيار تالر الرايخ بأن يحوي 1/9 مارك كولونيا من الفضة النقية، أو 25.98 گرام. وفي 1750 a new thaler was struck with a gross weight of 1/10 of 1 Vienna mark of silver, 5/6 fine (with a fine silver content of 23.39 grams, or 1/10 of a Cologne mark). In 1751 this new standard Conventionsthaler was effectively adopted across the German-speaking world when it was accepted formally in the Bavarian monetary convention. This new, post-1751 thaler has continued as a trade coin ever since.

Since the death of Maria Theresa in 1780, the coin has always been dated 1780. On 19 September 1857, Emperor Francis Joseph of Austria declared the Maria Theresa thaler to be an official trade coinage. A little over a year later, on 31 October 1858, it lost its status as currency in Austria.

كما يمكن العثور على تالر ماريا تريزا في جميع أرجاء العالم العربي وخصوصاً في السعودية واليمن ومسقط وعمان، وفي أفريقيا خصوصاً في إثيوپيا وفي الهند. ولما كان حجمه مماثل لكل من عملة الثمانية ريالات الاسبانية، ولأنه في بادئ الأمر أُعتُقِد أنه صادر من فرنسا، فقد أُطلِق على تالر ماريا تريزا الاسم باللغة العربية الريال الفرنسي.[1] ولهذا السبب كانت هذه العملة هي السابقة لعدد من العملات المحلية ومنها الريال السعودي والبر الإثيوپي.

أثناء الاحتلال الياباني لإندونيسيا في الحرب العالمية الثانية، فضّله عددٌ كافي على النقود الصادرة عن قوات الاحتلال حتى أن مكتب الخدمات الاستراتيجية الأمريكي صك نسخ مزورة من تالر ماريا تريزا لتستخدما قوات المقاومة.[2]

وفي البلدان الناطقة بالألمانية، following a spelling reform dated 1901 that took effect two years later, "Thaler" is written "Taler" (the spelling of given names like "Theresa" was not affected). Hence 20th-century references to this coin in German and Austrian sources are found under "Maria-Theresien-Taler". The spelling in English-speaking countries was not affected.

The MTT continues to be produced by the Austrian Mint, and is available in both proof and uncirculated conditions.[3]


التفاصيل

The thaler is 39.5–41 mm (1.56–1.61 in) in diameter and 2.5 mm (0.098 in) thick, weighs 28.0668 grams (0.99003 oz) and contains 23.386 grams (0.752 troy ounces) of fine silver. It has a silver content of .833 and a copper content of .166 of its total millesimal fineness. Note: Rome mint struck MTTs are marginally lighter being produced in finer 835 standard instead of 833 standard silver.

The inscription on the obverse of this coin is in Latin: "M. THERESIA D. G. R. IMP. HU. BO. REG." The Reverse reads "ARCHID. AVST. DUX BURG. CO. TYR. 1780 X". It is an abbreviation of "Maria Theresia, Dei Gratia Romanorum Imperatrix, Hungariae Bohemiaeque Regina, Archidux Austriae, Dux Burgundiae, Comes Tyrolis. 1780 X", which means, "Maria Theresa, by the grace of God, Empress of the Romans, Queen of Hungary and Bohemia, Archduchess of Austria, Duchess of Burgundy, Countess of Tyrol. 1780". The "X" is actually a saltire or Burgundian cross,[4] and was added in 1750 indicating the new debased standard of the thaler. Around the rim of the coin is the motto of her reign: "Justitia et Clementia", meaning "Justice and Clemency".

The MTT quickly became a standard trade coin and several nations began striking Maria Theresa thalers. The following mints have struck MTTs: Birmingham, Bombay, Brussels, London, Paris, Rome and Utrecht, in addition to the Habsburg mints in Günzburg, Hall in Tyrol, Karlsburg, Kremnica, Milan, Prague, and Vienna. Between 1751 and 2000, some 389 million were minted. These various mints distinguished their issues by slight differences in the design, with some of these evolving over time.[5] In 1935 Mussolini gained a 25-year concession over production of the MTT. The Italians blocked non-Italian banks and bullion traders from obtaining the coin and so France, Belgium, and the UK started producing the coin so as to support their economic interests in the Red Sea, Persian Gulf and East Coast of Africa. In 1961 the 25-year concession ended and Austria made diplomatic approaches to the relevant governments requesting they cease production of the coin. The UK was the last government to formally agree to the request in February 1962.

The MTT came to be used as currency in large parts of Africa and Middle East until بعد الحرب العالمية الثانية. It was common from North Africa to الصومال, Ethiopia, Kenya, and down the coast of تنزانيا إلى موزمبيق. Its popularity في البحر الأحمر region was such that merchants would not accept any other type of currency. The Italian government produced a similar designed coin in the hope of replacing the Maria Theresa thaler, but it never gained acceptance.[6]

كما كان تالر ماريا تريزا، في السابق، عملة الحجاز واليمن ومحمية عدن وكذلك مسقط وعُمان في الجزيرة العربية. وتبقى العملة ذات شعبية في العالم العربي إلى يومنا هذا في صيغتها الأصلية: عملة فضية عليها پورتريه للحاكم على وجه العملة ونسر هابسبورگ المزدوج على الظهر.[7]

في المملكة المتحدة, the Maria Theresa thaler bearing the date of 1780 is a "protected coin" for the purposes of Part II of the Forgery and Counterfeiting Act 1981.[8]

The MTT is first recorded as circulating in إثيوپيا من عهد الامبراطور إياسو الثاني من إثيوپيا (1730–1755).[9] According to traveller James Bruce, the coin, not debased as other currencies, dominated the areas he visited in 1768. Joseph Kalmer and Ludwig Hyun in the book Abessinien estimate that over 20% of 245 million coins minted until 1931 ended up in Ethiopia.[10] In 1868, the British military expedition to مگدالة، عاصمة الامبراطور توضروس الثاني من الحبشة, under Field Marshal Robert Napier, took MTTs with them to pay local expenses. In 1890 the Italians introduced the Tallero Eritreo, styled after the MTT, in their new colony Eritrea, also hoping to impose it on the commerce with Ethiopia. They remained, however, largely unsuccessful.[11] In the early 1900s منليك الثاني unsuccessfully attempted to mint Menelik thalers locally, with his effigy, but styled following the model of the MTT, and force their use. The newly established Bank of Abyssinia also issued banknotes denominated in thalers. Starting in 1935 the Italians minted the MTT at the mint in Rome for use in their conquest of Ethiopia. Then during World War II, the British minted some 18 million MTTs in Bombay to use in their campaign to drive the Italians out of Ethiopia.[12]
