Hello, I can't find this coin on Numista and yet I know I've seen it here before and now I can't find it. It's the wartime contraband coin.
Thank you very much

To be more precise, it is a coin that unscrews into two pieces and creates a box inside.
I've found this one in the cataloge: N#22368
Similar design, but it's made from a different coin.
You have Francis I of HRE on one side and Maria Theresa of HRE on other side. Search Austria in 1745-1765, limit to your size and you will probably find which two coins this piece pretends to be. If they really tried to fool people, they would have thaler sized (40 mm) box and correct reverse.
Yes, that's what I saw. But as I see it's not this coin.
But never mind, at least I know where to start. Thank you

Yes, I tried all that, but I guess I was unlucky. Thank you very much anyway

diameter 25, thickness 3. weight 9.2g. Yes, I realize that.
Although I found a similar coin for sale on Numista
It just didn't seem to me that there were two monarchs on both sides of the same coin.
Anyway, thanks everyone for the help
I just found an auction record of another Maria Theresia spy money: https://www.darabanth.com/en/gyorsarveres/468/kategoriak~Numizmatika/Numizmatikai-tetelek-rendkivul-alacsony-kikialtasi-aron~500001/1775S-12kr-Cu-Maria-Terezia-szetszedheto-kempenz-spionpenz-TVF-R-Hungary-1775S-12-Kre~II3159992
This is smaller, made from a ½ Kreuzer.
