Austrian coins by denomination

Kreuzer, florins, heller, crowns, groschen and schillings

Each denomination brings together its types and successive alloys. Florin, crown and schilling belong to different systems: denominations remain separate by currency. The photographs and headings correspond to the same types as the view by period.
