Answer
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.
