Note: Liechtenstein has historically used Austrian currency alongside its own, until 1921, when due to the instability of the Austrian Krone, Liechtenstein decoupled from the Austrian currency, and started using the Swiss Franc. In 1924, an agreement with Switzerland allowed Liechtenstein to issue its own coins on the Franc standard, but circulating issues were only minted in 1924, with any coins made after then being non-circulating.
