Dutch guilder

Currency of the Netherlands from 1434 to 2002

The guilder (Dutch: gulden, pronounced [ˈɣʏldə(n)]) or florin was the currency of the Netherlands from 1434 until 2002, when it was replaced by the euro. The Dutch name gulden was a Middle Dutch adjective meaning 'golden', and reflects the fact that, when first introduced in 1434, its value was about equal to (i.e., it was on par with) the Italian gold florin. The Dutch guilder was a de facto reserve currency in Europe in the 17th and 18th centuries.
