X had been the currency of Y since its original unification in 1871. Before that time, the different Y States issued a variety of different currencies, though most were linked to the Vereinstalher, a silver coin containing 16 2/3 grams of pure silver. Although the X was based on gold rather than silver, a fixed exchange rate between the Vereinsthaler and the X of 3 Xs = 1 Vereinsthaler was used for the conversion
