Gold Dutch Guilders vs other Guilders
The Guilder was the official Dutch currency until the euro was introduced in 2002, but not all Guilder coins are made from gold. If you’re buying Guilders for investment purposes, it’s important to distinguish the specific 5 and 10 Guilder issues struck in gold from the later circulating base-metal Guilder coins.
