A derivation of the real name: Oestereich (check spelling), which I would translate as eastern realm. But east of which country? It lies South East from Germany. Is that it? It is directly East of Switzerland and Liechtenstein. Who knows the history?

What currency was used in Austria in the late 19th century?
-
From 1892-1918 - 1 Krone = 100 Heller (or Filler). Before 1892 - 1 Gulden = 100 Kreuzer (or in Hungarian, 1 Forint = 100 Krayczar). Pre-1857 - 1 Gulden = 60 Kreuzer (of 4 Heller each, so 1 Gulden = 240 Heller). The Gulden was a rather heavy unit, being equivalent to about 2 Marks. In 1892 it was halved.
