The numismatic history of the Netherlands-Provinces is rich and fascinating, spanning centuries of political and economic change. From the Middle Ages to the present day, Dutch coins have reflected the evolution of this nation and its role in world trade.

Origins and development

The first coins in the region date back to the 7th century, when the Merovingians minted gold pieces. During the Middle Ages, various cities and manors issued their own coins. The gold florin, introduced in 1378, became a reference coin in Europe. The Union of Utrecht in 1579 marked the beginning of a more unified monetary policy, although each province retained some autonomy in minting.

Golden Age and modernity

The 17th century, known as the Dutch Golden Age, saw the expansion of trade and the global influence of the Netherlands. The silver ducaton and the rijksdaalder became international trade currencies. The creation of the Bank of Amsterdam in 1609 revolutionized European finance.
