What was the worth of the German/Austrian FLORIN


What was the worth of the German/Austrian FLORIN?
Doing some research on Mozart, I found that he was paid 150 florins a year while at work in Salzburg, Austria. How much would that compare to today? I know only that the German florin was distinct from the Italian florin and has been obeselete since 1790.
