The term "Guilder" refers to a historical currency that was used in the Netherlands and its colonies. The Dutch Guilder was the official currency until it was replaced by the Euro in 2002. The Guilder was subdivided into 100 cents and was known for its stability and strong value during its circulation. In addition to its monetary significance, the Guilder is also associated with the Dutch East India Company, which played a crucial role in global trade during the 17th century. The currency often featured images of notable figures and symbols of Dutch heritage, reflecting the country's rich history and economic power.
