The Thaler was the currency of Zürich until 1798. It was subdivided into 2 "Gulden", each of 36 "Schillinge", with the Schilling divided into 4 "Rappen" or 12 "Haller". It was replaced by the Frank of the Helvetian Republic in 1798. This was, in turn, replaced by the Zürich Frank. The thaler was worth frac|11 of a Cologne mark.
