The '''schilling''' ({{langx|de|Schilling}}; {{IPA|de|ˈʃɪliŋ|audio=De-Schilling.ogg}}) is a former [[currency]] of [[Austria]] from 1925 to 1938 and from 1945 to 1999, and the circulating currency until 2002. The [[euro]] was introduced at a fixed parity of €1 = 13.7603 schilling to replace it. The schilling was divided into 100 {{lang|de|[[Groschen]]}}.

==History==
Following the [[Carolingian coin reform]] in 794 AD, new units of account were introduced, including the {{lang|de|[[schilling (coin)|schilling]]}}, which consisted of 12 silver {{lang|de|[[pfennig]]e}}. It was initially only a coin of account but later became an actual coin produced in many European countries.

===Before the modern Austrian schilling===
The currencies preceding the schilling include:
* The [[florin]], in existence as a currency of the [[Holy Roman Empire]] since the 16th century, divided into 8 {{lang|de|Schilling}} = 60 {{lang|de|[[Kreuzer]]}} = 240 {{lang|de|[[Pfennig]]e}}
* The [[Austro-Hungarian gulden]] after 1857, divided into 100 {{lang|de|Neukreuzer}}
* The [[Austro-Hungarian krone]], introduced in 1892 upon adoption of the gold standard; and
* The [[Austrian krone|Austrian crown]], introduced for [[Austria]] in 1919 upon the dissolution of the [[Austro-Hungarian Empire]].

In [[History of Austria|mediaeval Austria]], there were short and long {{lang|de|[[Schilling (coin)|schilling]]}} coins, valued at 12 and 30 {{lang|de|Pfennige}} respectively. Until 1857, the {{lang|de|Schilling}} was a currency unit for 30 {{lang|de|Pfennige}} or {{frac|7|1|2}} {{lang|de|Kreuzer}}. The Austrian {{lang|de|Groschen}} (also known as the {{lang|de|Kaisergroschen}}, {{lit|emperor's {{lang|de|groschen}}|emperor's [[groat (coin)|groat]]}}) was a silver coin worth 12 {{lang|de|Pfennige}} = 3 {{lang|de|Kreuzer}} = {{Fraction|2|5}} {{lang|de|Schilling}}.<ref>{{cite book |last1=Eissenbeiss |first1=Philipp |title=Neuer allgemeiner Contorist oder Handbuch zur Kenntniß der Wechsel- und Staatspapier-Preise: der Rechnungs- und geprägten Münzen, der Maasse und Gewichte aller Länder in und ausser Europa, mit ihren gehörigen Vergleichungen untereinander. vol. 2 |date=1830 |publisher=Hinrichs |page=483 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=gXdXAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA483}}</ref>

===First Austrian schilling===
The schilling was established by the Schilling Act ({{lang|de|Schillingrechnungsgesetz}}) of 20 December 1924, at a rate of one schilling to 10,000 [[Austrian krone|kronen]] and issued on 1 March 1925. The schilling was abolished in the wake of [[Anschluss|Germany's annexation of Austria]] in 1938, when it was exchanged at a rate of 1.50 schilling for one {{lang|de|[[Reichsmark]]}}.

==={{anchor|ATS}}Second Austrian schilling===
The schilling was reintroduced after [[World War II]] on 30 November 1945 by the Allied Military, who issued paper money (dated 1944) in denominations of 50 groschen, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100, and 1000 schilling. The exchange rate to the {{lang|de|Reichsmark}} was 1:1, limited to 150 schilling per person. The Nationalbank also began issuing schilling notes in 1945 and the first coins were issued in 1946.

With a second "schilling" law on 21 November 1947, new banknotes were introduced. The earlier notes could be exchanged for new notes at par for the first 150 schilling and at a rate of 1 new schilling for 3 old schillings thereafter. This reform did not affect coins. The currency stabilised in the 1950s, with the schilling being tied to the [[U.S. dollar]] at a rate of $1 = 26 schilling. Following the breakdown of the [[Bretton Woods system]] in 1971, the schilling was initially tied to a basket of currencies until July 1976, when it was coupled to the [[German mark]].

Although the [[euro]] became the official currency of Austria in 1999, [[euro coins]] and notes were not introduced until 2002. Old schilling denominated coins and notes were phased out from circulation because of the [[introduction of the euro]] by 28 February of that year. Schilling banknotes and coins which were valid at the time of the introduction of the euro will indefinitely remain exchangeable for euros at any branch of the {{lang|de|[[Oesterreichische Nationalbank]]|italic=no}}.

==Coins==

===First schilling===
In 1925, bronze 1 and 2 groschen, cupro-nickel 10 groschen, and silver {{frac|1|2}} and 1 schilling coins were introduced, followed by cupro-nickel 5 groschen issues in 1931. In 1934, cupro-nickel 50 groschen and 1 schilling were introduced, together with silver 5 schilling. Coins were issued until 1938.

Also issued gold and silver coins: 2 schillings (1937) – 64% silver, 5 schillings (1934) – 83% silver, 25 schillings (1926) – 90% gold, 100 schillings (1924) – 90% gold.<ref>{{Cite news|url=https://goldadvert.com/knowledgebase/en/gold-and-silver-shillings-of-austria/|title=Gold and silver shillings of Austria|date=2018-06-14|work=Knowledge base - GoldAdvert|access-date=2018-06-15|language=en-US}}</ref>

===Second schilling===
Between 1947 and 1952, coins in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 groschen; and 1, 2, and 5 schilling were introduced. The 1, 5, 10, and 50 groschen were initially made from leftover blanks from the wartime pfennig issues. The 2 and 50 groschen; 1, 2, and 5 schilling were struck in aluminium, as was the second type of 10 groschen coin. The 1 and 5 groschen and the first type of 10 groschen were in zinc, with the 20 groschen struck in aluminium-bronze. The 1 groschen was only struck in 1947, while the 20 groschen and 2 schilling coins were suspended from production in 1954 and 1952, respectively. In 1957, silver 10 schilling coins were introduced, followed in 1959 by aluminium-bronze 50 groschen and 1 schilling, and in 1960 by silver 5 schilling coins. As a result, the composition of the 5 Schilling coins changed from aluminum to silver in the 1950s, which was a highly unusual event. Cupro-nickel replaced silver in the 5 and 10 schilling coins in 1969 and 1974, respectively. An aluminium-bronze 20 schilling coin was introduced in 1980.

Silver coins were in the value of 25, 50, 100, 200 and 500 schilling, but gold coins also existed for 500 and 1,000 schilling. They were considered legal currency, but were rarely found in actual transactions. Coins under 10 groschen were rarely seen in circulation during their final years.

At the time of the changeover to the euro, the coins in circulation were the following:

==Banknotes==

===First schilling===
[[File:Austria 1 S 1924 - 11.5.25-31.12.26.jpg|thumb|130px|1 Schilling (1925)]]
In 1925, the {{lang|de|[[Oesterreichische Nationalbank]]|italic=no}} issued notes in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, 100 and 1,000 {{lang|de|Schilling'''e'''}} (note the different spelling of the plural on this first 1925-series of notes). The one-schilling notes were overprints of 10,000 {{lang|de|Krone}} notes.

In 1927–1929 a second series was added with 5, 10, 20, 50 and 100 schilling notes. The one schilling was substituted by a coin.

===Second schilling===
In 1945, the [[Allies of World War II|Allies]] introduced notes (dated 1944) in denominations of 50 groschen, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100 and 1,000 schilling.<ref>[http://www.oenb.at/de/ueber_die_oenb/geldmuseum/064_Sammlung/alliierte_militaerschilling-noten_serie_1944_ausgabe_der_alliierten_militaerbehoerde_fuer_oesterreich.jsp#tcm:14-213895  Allied Military Currency] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110721132653/http://www.oenb.at/de/ueber_die_oenb/geldmuseum/064_Sammlung/alliierte_militaerschilling-noten_serie_1944_ausgabe_der_alliierten_militaerbehoerde_fuer_oesterreich.jsp#tcm:14-213895 |date=July 21, 2011 }}</ref> The {{lang|de|Oesterreichische Nationalbank|italic=no}} also introduced notes in 1945, in denominations of 10, 20, 100 and 1,000 schilling and the allied currency with small values up to 5 schilling remained valid until 1947. With the banknote reform of 1947, new notes were issued in denominations of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100 and 1,000 schilling. 
Until 1957, the first 500 schilling banknote was issued and the 5 and 10 schilling notes were replaced by coins. However, although 20 schilling coins were issued from 1980, the 20 schilling note continued to be produced, with 5,000 schilling notes added in 1988.
