schillings

Old Vienna money

Schillings is the plural of schilling, the former basic monetary unit of Austria before adoption of the euro in 2002.

The schilling was divided into 100 groschen.

The word shares origins with shilling, the British coin worth one-twentieth of a pound before decimalization: The meal cost sixty schillings.
