Guilder is the English translation of gulden. The gulden originated as a gold coin (hence the name) but has been a common name for a silver or base metal coin for some centuries. The name has often been interchangeable with florin.

One and a half guilder was called a daalder; two and a half guilder was called a rijksdaalder. The daalder is nowadays still known as a Dollar.
