Rixdollar is the English term for silver coinage used throughout the European continent[1] (Template:Lang-de, Template:Lang-nl, Template:Lang-da, Template:Lang-sv).

The same term was also used of currency in the Cape Colony and Ceylon. However, the Rixdollar only existed as a coin in Ceylon. Unissued remainder banknotes for the Cape of Good Hope denominated in Rixdollars exist, but these are very rare.
