To restrike a coin in a later year with the same design and date. For trade coins like the Maria Theresa thaler, this is a standard practice to meet demand.

⚠ The difference from a counterfeit is the authorization of the issuing authority. The date becomes the "name of the die" rather than the year of manufacture.
