1776 Moneta Reipublica Turicensis? (cool toning)

Don't even know the country of origin. Help?

It appears to be Switzerland (Zurich) Thaler. Should weigh around 26.29 grams. KM163.

Innocently never having heard of the country of Turicensis...I innocently searched it on Google and foubnd it to be a..eh em...genital infection. I figured I must have found the wrong Turicensis.

 

twokopeicki is correct with his Zurich, Switzerland identification. There is also a 1/2 thaler coin KM 162 with the same design. I can't tell if yours is the 1/2 or 1 thaler (1/2 thaler is a bit bigger than a half dollar) but in either case, you have a nice $50-$75 coin there.
