For the lowest denomination of divisional coins, half-groschen, kreutzer, and pfennige, quite varying standards were permitted, according to the piece or locality, namely, from 20 3⁄4 to 33 guldens to the Koln mark.
For tolerated coin the following tariff was fixed:—
GOLD
| Bavarian maxd'or and double gold gulden = 6 fl. 8 kr. | ||
| Bavarian carolus or 3-gold gulden piece = 9 fl. 12 kr. | ||
| Kremnitz ducat | = 4 fl. 12 kr. | |
| Florentine gigliati | ||
| Venetian zecchino | ||
All other gold coins to be taken as bullion at a value of 280 fl. for the Cologne mark of fine gold. All silver species of other states below the value of 1⁄2 florin forbidden.
Such was the Convention System or Standard, which, by the accession of the Electoral Palatinate, and of Salzburg might be practically regarded as the Imperial system.
This Convention system, and these Convention or specie thaler and other coins, remained the Mint system of Austria until modern times.
The changes which were made in the Austrian system by the Vienna Convention of 1857 have been already detailed (see text, pp. [209]-[12]).
