The Austrian Gulden was the currency of the Empire of Austria and from 1867 by Austria - Hungary. It was introduced in 1858 due to the Wiener Münzvertrages instead of the thaler, which was not expected in contrast to the guilder in the decimal system. The Gulden was in Austria until 1900 in circulation, although he was replaced in 1892 by the Crown.
