A restrike is a coin that is minted later than what the date says on it. For example, all examples of the Maria Therisa Thaler from 1780 onwards are dated 1780, and the Austrian mint still produces them today, but they are all dated 1780. Re-strikes are not the same as reproduction coins because re-strikes are either authorized by the mint that first produced them (as in the case of the thaler) or struck from authentic dies later on (as in confederate half dollar restrikes). It is important to know if a coin you are buying is a restrike or not if you are looking for a particularly old coin, because some less knowledgeable or fraudulent dealers will make the date on the coin a major selling point, despite the coin not being struck in that date.

How do you make coins mint?
To make a coin, you take 2 pieces of hard metal (usually steel) and engrave a reverse image of what you want the coin to look like on these pieces of metal. This is called the die. You then put the metal between the 2 dies and apply pressure to strike the coin. Ancient and medieval coins used a hammer to strike the coin (often multiple strikes were required) but modern methods use machines to strike the coin and usually only one strike is required except in high-relief and proof coins.
