The Austro-Hungarian gulden (alternatively florin or forint; German: Gulden, Hungarian: forint, Croatian: forinta/florin, Czech: zlatý, Polish: złoty reński) 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: Kreuzer, Hungarian: krajczár, Croatian: krajcar, Czech: krejcar, Polish: krajcar). The currency was decimalized in 1857, using the same names for the unit and subunit.
