The krona , unofficially abroad since its introduction, from 1919 on in Austria officially called " Austrian krona ", was the gold currency of Austria-Hungary until 1918 and the currency of the Republic of Austria from 1918 to 1925. It replaced the in the course of the currency conversion of 1892 Guilder , which was a standard silver currency . In colloquial language , the gold coins of 10, 20 and 100 kroner were called “gold crowns” .

In the Austrian half corresponded 100 Heller a crown (derived from the Greek "κορώνα" or Latin "corona" for "Crown"). In the Hungarian half of the empire the name was " Korona "; one corona corresponded to 100 fillers .

history

Currency conversion in 1892

In 1892 the guilder was replaced by the 100 Heller Krone. Until January 1, 1900, the gulden (fl.) Was valid currency alongside the kroon (K), the exchange rate was two kroner for one gulden (→ gold crown ). The changeover was not associated with changes in monetary policy, as is typical for currency reforms, and was therefore not a reform, just a renaming.

On the banknotes of the Austro-Hungarian bank (the central bank of the dual monarchy; it was written with a lowercase "u"), the name of the currency on the Austrian side was also given in other languages ​​of the monarchy , since the nationalities were equal according to the December constitution of 1867 ( "Koruna", "korona", "corona", "krona", "kruna", "coroană"), on the Hungarian side, according to the Magyar nationality policy, only in Hungarian.

While the banknotes were issued by the common central bank, the coinage between the Hungarian and the Austrian part of the empire was carried out separately. Therefore, the coins only showed symbols of the respective “half of the empire”. However, they circulated throughout Austria-Hungary - just as the coins minted in the euro countries are in circulation throughout the euro zone today.

The exchange rate against the mark of the German Empire , set as part of the gold standard , was 1.176 kroner in 1912.

On the basis of the statutes of the Austrian-Hungarian Bank, the aforementioned bank was obliged to exchange banknotes for metal money (but not necessarily gold!) At its main offices in Vienna and Budapest within 24 hours, otherwise it would have lost its banknote privilege. At branch offices, this obligation existed in the context of inventories. Conversely, the bank was also obliged to convert an unlimited amount of gold into paper money at the coin rate - which was probably the lesser problem in practice. The circulation of the coins was also limited by law.

First World War

Even before the war, the central bank (according to Ludwig von Mises ) was not legally obliged to exchange banknotes for gold, but did so voluntarily to ensure the stability of the crown.

As early as August 4, 1914, an Imperial Ordinance (RGBl. 198/1914) was issued, according to which the Oesterreichisch-Hungarian Bank was authorized to enforce provisions that differ from the banking statutes. As a result, in addition to a lower metal cover for banknotes in circulation, this led to a suspension of the redemption obligation in gold.

A wave of accelerated inflation began with World War I, as it was largely financed through bonds. The expansion of the money supply was not matched by a corresponding amount of goods; the shortage in almost all areas quickly led to price increases. The price level at the end of the war was fifteen times what it was in 1914.

Disintegration of the monarchy, successor states

At the beginning of 1919, the Kingdom of Serbs, Croats and Slovenes (called Yugoslavia from 1929) , the Czechoslovak Republic , the republican state of German Austria and then also republican Hungary , which (for the time being) retained the krona currency, separated from the previous one by stamping their banknotes Common currency. Austria covered the enormous costs of the war not with taxes (e.g. tax increases and / or new taxes), but “with the banknote press”: it printed (like the German Empire; more here ) additional money (which caused inflation ). The common currency area of ​​the Habsburg Empire quickly dissolved (especially since German Austria hardly took or could hardly consider the economic and political needs of other successor states).

In January 1919, the new South Slav state began to stamp its own kroner banknotes. The Czechoslovakia in February 1919. In order followed the influx of crown banknotes unknown origin, for example from Hungary to prevent, also had German Austria in March 1919, the stamping of its banknotes in circulation begin. Due to the different inflation rates in the following years, these kroner currencies had very different values. Czechoslovakia kept its Koruna , Austria had to give it up in 1925.

500,000 kroner hyperinflation banknote, 1922

Austria until 1925

Continuing enormous budget deficits in German Austria (among other things to subsidize food) and currency speculation drove the inflation further, which could not be stopped with own means. The value of the paper crown compared to the gold crown fell to 14,400 by August 1922: 1. In 1922, Federal Chancellor Ignaz Seipel needed foreign help and an internationally monitored strict austerity program so that the state finances could be brought back into balance. When this succeeded, the Federal Government of Seipel I prepared the introduction of the shilling currency in 1924 . This currency reform was decided by the National Council on December 20, 1924, one month after Seipel's resignation , and implemented on March 1, 1925. (During the transition period of several months that followed, Austrian crowns were still accepted). The value of one shilling was equivalent to 10,000 "paper crowns".

Austrian coins 1918 to 1924

In the short time in which people in the Republic of Austria , from 1918 onwards, paid with kronor, very few coins came out. It was not until 1923 that a 100 kroner copper coin appeared, but the zeros were already written in lower case because the shilling was introduced in 1925 and 100 kroner had the value of " 1 groschen " and the coins were accurate to the zeros looked the same. The situation was similar with the 200-kroner copper coins and the 1000-kroner copper- nickel coins. Only the 20 and 100 crown gold coins had an appearance that was unique before and after.
