The Thaler was the currency of St. Gallen until 1798. It was subdivided into 2 "Gulden", each of 60 "Kreuzer" or 240 "Pfennig". It was replaced by the Frank of the Helvetian Republic in 1798. This was, in turn, replaced by the St. Gallen Frank. Coins were isued by both the Abbey of St. Gall and the City.
