The Gulden was the currency of Danzig (now Gdańsk) between 1923 and 1939. It was divided into 100 Pfennige. Until 1923, Danzig issued paper money denominated in Marks. The Gulden was not introduced at a specific rate to the mark but at a value of 25 Gulden = 1 pound sterling.
Coins were issued in denominations of 1, 2, 5 and 10 Pfennige and ½, 1, 2, 5 and 10 Gulden.
Banknotes were issued in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 25 and 50 Pfennige and 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 25, 50 and 100 Gulden.
Following reincorporation into Germany at the beginning of the Second World War, the Reichsmark replaced the Gulden at a rate of 0.7 Reichsmark = 1 Gulden.
