Reverse of 1879 Austrian 2 Gulden
Austrian Pre-Kronen Decimal Currency
In 1857, the Habsburg Government introduced a decimalised currency. The old system subdivided 1 Gulden into 60 Kruezer. Under the new system, 1 Gulden or Florin was equal to 100 new Kruezer. This decimal currency lasted until 1892, when Austria-Hungary adopted the gold standard and replaced the Gulden/Florin at 2 Kronen to 1 Gulden.

Austro-Hungarian Commemorative Silver 2 Gulden
This silver 2 Gulden, equivilent to two Austrian Florins or Two Hungarian Florints, was issued to commemorate the 25th Annivesary of the Austro-Hungarian Emperor Franz-Josef and his wife, Empress Elisabeth. Tragically, Empress Elisabeth was assasinated by an anarchist in 1898, although by this time, she had long been estranged from her husband, who died in 1916, having lived to see his country driven into a war provoked by the assassination of his nephew and heir, Franz Ferdinand in 1914.
