The Gulden was the currency of Danzig (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. 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.
