The Austro-Hungarian gulden (German), also known as the florin (German & Croatian), forint (Hungarian; Croatian: forinta), or zloty (Polish: złoty reński; Czech: zlatý), was the currency of the lands of the House of Habsburg between 1754 and 1892 (known as the Austrian Empire from 1804 to 1867 and the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy after 1867), when it was replaced by the Austro-Hungarian krone as part of the introduction of the gold standard. In Austria, the gulden was initially divided into 60 kreuzers (German; Hungarian: krajczár; Croatian: krajcar; Czech: krejcar; Polish: krajcar). The currency was decimalized in 1857, using the same names for the unit and subunit.
