Luzern gulden

The Gulden was the currency of the Swiss canton of Luzern until 1798. It was subdivided into 40 Schilling, each of 3 Rappen or 6 Angster. Coins were also issued denominated in Kreuzer and Batzen. It was replaced by the Frank of the Helvetian Republic in 1798. This was, in turn, replaced by the Luzern Frank.
