Austria Thalers of Charles (Carol) VI 1711 to 1740

King Charles VI ruled Austria from 1711 to 1740. His large silver coinage has several variations but a common theme:

- Portrait of the king with curly locks
- Double-headed imperial eagle
- Inscription CAROL or CAROLVS
- Inscription AVSTRIAE or AVST

If your silver coin has these characteristics and is dated between 1711 and 1740, then it is covered on this page.

The denominations are:

THALER: large coin, more than 40 mm diameter
1/2 THALER: about 33 mm diameter
1/4 THALER: about 30 mm diameter with fraction 1/4 under the eagle

With one exception noted below, values of these coins run approximately as follows:
