The combination of a ruler and a crowned double eagle also appealed to local symbolism. While sometimes the coin was used directly as a pendant, more often it was melted down to fashion neck crosses, liturgical crowns and similar adornments."}, {"label": "Description", "content": "Silver coin composed of a profile of a woman, Empress Maria Theresa, wearing a diadem, withh the face free from the veil which is caught at the shoulder with an oval pin, surrounded by the legend: \"R IMP HU BO REG M.
