View source for Württemberg gulden

{{Main|South German gulden}}
[[Württemberg]] used the '''[[South German gulden]]''' as its currency until 1873. Until 1824, the Gulden was a unit of account and was used to denominate [[banknote]]s but was not issued as a [[coin]]. It was worth {{frac|5|12}} of a [[Conventionsthaler]] and was subdivided into 50 ''Conventionskreuzer'' or 60 ''[[Kreuzer]] Landmünze''.

The first Gulden coins were issued in 1824. The new Gulden was equal to the earlier Gulden and was subdivided into 60 Kreuzer. The rather unusual denominations of 12 and 24 Kreuzer were issued, replacing the 10 and 20 Conventionskreuzer coins.

In 1837, [[Grand Duchy of Baden|Baden]] joined the [[Munich Coin Treaty|South German Monetary Union]]. This caused the Gulden to be reduced slightly in size, as it was now worth four sevenths of a [[Prussian thaler|Prussian Thaler]].

The Gulden was replaced by the [[German gold mark|Mark]] in 1873, at a rate of 1 Mark = 35 Kreuzer.
