The gulden was the currency of the Swiss canton of Luzern until 1798. It was subdivided into 40 schilling, each of 3 rappen or 6 angster. Coins were also issued denominated in kreuzer and batzen. It was replaced by the franc of the Helvetic Republic in 1798. This was, in turn, replaced by the Luzern frank.
