Jdgarst0720 Valued Member United States 259 Posts	Posted 04/18/2011 1:58 pm Love the Austrian coin. When did the Kreutzer change to Schillings? Report this Post to the Staff
chrisild Pillar of the Community Germany 1238 Posts	Posted 04/18/2011 3:56 pm Quote: When did the Kreutzer change to Schillings? You skipped a few steps. :) They had this currency setup (60 Kreuzer = 1 Gulden) until 1857. Then came the new (decimal) Kreuzer, with 100 Kr. = 1 Gulden or Florin. I 1892 they went to 100 Heller = 1 Krone or Corona. And now, in 1925, comes the schilling: 100 Groschen = 1 Schilling. That name stayed in use (except for the nazi years) until 1999/2002.

HeadsIWin Valued Member United States 260 Posts	Posted 04/20/2011 4:48 pm What came before the kreuzer and could someone post an image? Report this Post to the Staff
chrisild Pillar of the Community Germany 1238 Posts	Posted 04/21/2011 11:30 am Quote: What came before the kreuzer Good question. :) The name "Kreuzer" goes back to the Solidus from Merano (a place in Tyrol, now Northern Italy) which had a cross (Kreuz) on one side. That coin was introduced in the 13th century, and somehow the name "Kreuzer" stuck - first colloquially, then (since the 15th century or so) officially too. The Kreuzer was a silver piece first, later a copper coin ... Christian Report this Post to the Staff
