[[File:Behrens 66.jpg|thumb|280px|[[Florence]] gulden (1341)]]
'''Guilder''' is the [[English language|English]] translation of the [[Dutch language|Dutch]] and [[German language|German]] '''''gulden''''', originally shortened from [[Middle High German]] ''guldin pfenninc'' "[[gold penny]]". This was the term that became current in the southern and western parts of the [[Holy Roman Empire]] for the [[Florin (Italian coin)|Fiorino d'oro]] (introduced 1252). Hence, the name has often been interchangeable with ''florin'' ([[currency sign]] '''''ƒ.''''' or '''''ƒl.''''').
==Early versions==
The term ''gulden'' was used in the Holy Roman Empire during the 14th to 16th centuries in generic reference to [[gold coin]]s. Currency became more standardized with the imperial reform of 1559. In the [[early modern period]], the value of a gulden was expressed in standardized form (''Rechnungsgulden''), and in some instances, [[silver coin]]s were minted designed to have the value corresponding to one gulden.
The [[Rhenish gulden]] (florenus Rheni) was issued by Trier, Cologne and Mainz in the 14th and 15th centuries.
[[Basel]] minted its own ''Apfelgulden'' between 1429 and 1509. [[Bern]] and [[Solothurn]] followed in the 1480s, [[Fribourg]] in 1509 and [[Zürich]] in 1510, and other towns in the 17th century, resulting in a fragmented system of local currencies in the [[early modern Switzerland]].
==Modern currencies==
With increasingly standardized currencies in the early modern period, ''gulden'' or ''guilder'' became a term for various early modern and modern currencies, detached from actual gold coins, in the 17th and 18th centuries.
The [[Netherlands Indies gulden]] was introduced in 1602, at the start of the [[United East Indies Company]].
The [[Dutch guilder]] originated in 1680 as a 10.61g .910 silver coin, minted by the [[States of Holland and West Friesland]].<ref>{{cite book | last=Krause | first=Chester |author2=Clifford Mishler | year=2003 | edition=3rd | title=[Standard Catalog of World Coins, 1601-1700: Identification and Valuation Guide 17th Century (Standard Catalog of World Coins 17th Century Edition 1601-1700)] | publisher=[[Krause Publications]] | isbn=0-87349-666-3 | pages=932 }}</ref>
The [[British Guianan guilder]] was in use in [[British Guiana]], 1796 to 1839.
In 1753, [[Bavaria]] and [[Austria-Hungary]] agreed to use the same conventions. The result was
the [[Austro-Hungarian gulden]] ([[Austrian Empire]] 1754 to 1892), and the [[Bavarian gulden]] (1754 to 1873, see also [[Baden gulden]], [[Württemberg gulden]], [[South German gulden]]).
A [[Danzig gulden]] was in use 1923 to 1939.
The [[Dutch guilder]] remained the national currency of the Netherlands until it was replaced by the [[euro]] on 1 January 2002. The [[Netherlands Antillean guilder]] is currently the only guilder in use, which after the [[dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles]] remained the currency of the new countries [[Curaçao]] and [[Sint Maarten]] and (until 1 January 2011) the [[Caribbean Netherlands]].
