The krone (alternatively crown; German: Krone, Hungarian: korona, Italian: corona, Polish: korona, Slovene: krona, Serbo-Croatian: kruna, Czech: koruna, Slovak: koruna, Romanian: coroană, Ukrainian: корона) was the official currency of Austria-Hungary from 1892 (when it replaced the gulden as part of the adoption of the gold standard) until the dissolution of the empire in 1918.
The Fiume krone (Croatian: Riječka kruna, Italian: Corona Fiumana, abbreviated Cor. or FIUK) was a currency used in the Free State of Fiume.It was introduced on 18 April 1919 by the National Council of Fiume who effectively exercised power in the City through stamping of the previous Austro-Hungarian krone notes.

The Hungarian korona (Hungarian: magyar korona; korona in English is "crown") was the replacement currency of the Austro-Hungarian Krone/korona amongst the boundaries of the newly created post-World War I Hungary. It suffered a serious inflation and was replaced by the pengő on 1 January 1927.
After the First World War, according to article 206 of the Treaty of Saint-Germain, the Austro-Hungarian Bank had to be liquidated and the Austro-Hungarian krone had to be replaced with a different currency, [3] which in the case of Hungary was the Hungarian korona. This currency suffered a high rate of inflation during the early 1920s.
The banknotes were overstamped with the value in Austro-Hungarian krone (Serbo-croatian: Kruna) to make the conversion easier (in the rate 1 dinar = 4 krone). Some ½ and 1 dinar banknotes were issued before the overstamping started, so they had no krone value stamped.
Coins included 20 and 100 Krone gold coins minted with the same standard as their Austro-Hungarian krone counterparts.. To ease the introduction of the new currency, 100, 200 and 1000 Kronen coins were minted right before 1925 with the same parameters as the equivalent Groschen coins (1, 2 and 10 Groschen) that replaced them.
