In the Netherlands, both silver and gold guilder coins were issued. Silver (ˈsɪlvɚ is a Chemical element with the symbol " Ag " (argentum from the Ancient Greek: ἀργήντος - argēntos gen Gold (ˈɡoʊld is a Chemical element with the symbol Au (from its Latin name aurum) and Atomic number 79 In 1581, the silver guilder was established as the currency of the United Netherlands by the Estates-General.

The stuiver was a Coin used in the Netherlands until the Napoleonic Wars. The duit was a Dutch coin worth 2 penning, with 8 duit equal to one Stuiver and 160 duit equal to one gulden. At various times, other coins derived from the guilder emerged. Among them were the daalder of 1½ guilders (30 stuiver), the rijksdaalder (silver ducat) of 2½ guilders (50 stuiver) and the ducaton (silver rider) of 3 guilders (60 stuiver). The rijksdaalder ( Dutch, "imperial dollar" was a Dutch coin first issued in the 18th century worth 2½ gulden or 50 The name daalder was derived from the German thaler.
