The same thaler or different one? [gelöst]

I have a thaler of Francis I of Lorraine from 1747 (without X) minted in Kremnica (mintmark KB). At first glance it seems to be an exemplar of N#317197 with the same portrait of Francis I of Lorraine in obverse, and with the same double-headed crowned imperial eagle bearing the same coat of arms. But there are some puzzling differences. The first difference is that the lettering in obverse (FRANC·D:G·R·I·S·A·GE·IER·R·LO·B·M·H·D·) is divided by the top of head between S and A instead of A and GE. The second difference is in positioning of mintmark, which is divided by the tail of eagle much nearer eagles's legs. And the most important difference is the lettering on the edge of coin, which says in latin PRO DEO ET IMPERIO instead of PRO DEO ET PATRIA.

Without pictures, it will be very difficult for anyone to help you. Could you please post clear pictures of each side of your item?

Well, even the lettering in obverse is different (my eyes have to be tired that I missed that): FRANC:D:G:RO:I:S· - A:GE:IER:LO:BM:HD

in comparism with the pictures in numista, you are having another year, 1747 and also another position of mint mark K-B.

In my opinion it is the same coin, just another tool with unimportant differences.

Thanks!
