The krone (alternatively crown; German: Krone, Hungarian: Korona, Italian: Corona, Polish: Korona, Slovene: Krona, Serbo-Croatian: Kruna, Czech: Koruna, Slovak: Koruna, Romanian: Coroană, Ukrainian: Корона) was the official currency of Austria-Hungary from 1892 (when it replaced the gulden as part of the adoption of the gold standard) until the dissolution of the empire in 1918. The subunit was one hundredth of the main unit, and was called a Heller in the Austrian and a fillér in the Hungarian part of the Empire.
