The history of Austrian currency

The Austrian krone (or kronen in plural) was the currency of Austria, then known as German-Austria, and Liechtenstein. This was after the dissolution of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in 1919 until 1925. The kronen was introduced in 1892 when the gold standard was adopted. The Austrian schilling was introduced in 1925, replacing the krone. The schilling was established by the Schilling Act (Schillingrechnungsgesetz) of 20 December 1924, at a rate of one schilling to 10,000 kronen.

The Oesterreichische Nationalbank issued notes in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, 100, and 1,000 schillings in 1925. 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. In 1945, the Allies introduced notes (dated 1944) in denominations of 50 groschen, 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50, 100, and 1,000 schillings. The Oesterreichische Nationalbank also introduced notes in 1945, in denominations of 10, 20, 100, and 1,000 schillings. The banknote reform of 1947 introduced new notes in denominations of 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, and 1,000 schillings.

In 1957, the first 500 schilling banknote was issued, and the 5 and 10 schilling notes were replaced by coins. Between 1947 and 1952, coins in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 groschen; and 1, 2, and 5 schillings were introduced. 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.

The currency stabilised in the 1950s, with the schilling being tied to the U.S. dollar at a rate of $1 = 26 schillings. 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. The euro became the official currency of Austria in 1999, although euro coins and notes were not introduced until 2002. Old schilling-denominated coins and notes were phased out from circulation by 28 February 2002.

Today, the official currency of Austria is the euro, which is shared with numerous other European countries within the Eurozone.

The history of the Pakistani Rupee

The Pakistani rupee, with the currency code PKR and the symbol ₨, is the official currency of Pakistan. The Pakistani rupee was introduced in 1948, a year after the country gained independence from British rule in 1947.

Following independence in 1947, the Pakistani government issued an order designating the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) as the temporary monetary authority for both India and Pakistan until 30 September 1948. During this time, currency notes issued by the RBI and the Government of India were legal tender in Pakistan, with the addition of inscriptions in Urdu and English. Modified RBI notes in denominations of 2, 5, 10, and 100 rupees, and 1-rupee notes from the Government of India, were circulated. In 1948, coins were introduced in denominations of 1 pice, and the Pakistani rupee was formally introduced, maintaining its linkage to the British pound.

In 1949, the Pakistani government established a national security printing facility, the Pakistan Security Printing Corporation (PSPC), which used the intaglio printing process due to concerns about counterfeiting and regional security issues with India. The PSPC started printing lower denomination notes from July 1953, and the State Bank of Pakistan took over all national banknote production in 1963.

In 1961, the Pakistani rupee underwent decimalisation, with the rupee subdivided into 100 pice, renamed paise (singular paisa). In 1982, the Pakistani rupee's value was uncoupled from the British currency by General Zia-ul-Haq, transforming it into a floating currency. This led to a sharp depreciation of about 40% in the 1980s.
