The Krone or korona (Österreichisch-ungarische Krone (German) or osztrák-magyar korona Hungarian, rakousko-uherská koruna Czech) was the official currency of the Austro-Hungarian Empire from 1892 (when it replaced the Gulden/forint as part of the adoption of the gold standard) until the dissolution of the empire in 1918. The subunit was one hundredth of the main unit, and it was called Heller in the Austrian and fillér in the Hungarian part of the Empire.

Famous quotes containing the word krone:

    I don’t think the question needs to be genderized. It would feel great to anyone. But whether you’re a girl or a boy or a Martian, you still have to go out and prove yourself again every day.
    —Julie Krone (b. 1963)
