Austro-Hungarian Gulden

Austro-Hungarian Gulden

The Gulden or forint (German: Österreichisch-ungarische Gulden, Hungarian: osztrák-magyar forint, Czech: Rakousko-uherský zlatý) was the currency of the lands of the House of Habsburg (known as the Austrian Empire from 1804 to 1867 and the Austro-Hungarian Empire after 1867) between 1754 and 1892, when it was replaced by the Krone/korona as part of the introduction of the gold standard. In Austria, the Gulden was initially divided into 60 Kreuzer, and in Hungary, the forint was divided into 60 krajczár. The currency was decimalized in 1857, using the same names for the unit and subunit.
