Topic: Rijksdaalder


In the News (Thu 16 Feb 12)

This rijksdaalder had a weight of 25 gram, a silver contents of 945/1000 and a diameter of 38 millimeter.

 Dutch gulden - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Among them were the daalder of one and a half gulden (30 stuivers) and the rijksdaalder of two and a half gulden (50 stuivers).
250 cent / 2.50 gulden - Rijksdaalder, colloquially riks or knaak, not to be confused with the older valued daalder (1.50 gulden)
All the coins carried a profile image of the Queen on the heads side and a simple grid on the other side.

 Reichstaler / Reichsthaler / Rijksdaalder / Rigsdalder / Rixdollar - Definition   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The Reichsthaler was by imperial decree a coin of 29.23 g silver (889/1000 fineness) with a silberweight of 25.98 g.
Stockholm, Copenhagen, Antwerp and Amsterdam adopted the unit - rijksdaalders and rigsdalers and Reichsthaler had the same value.
The confusion is partly due to the fact that German sources can call a "Species Thaler" or "gemünzter Thaler" simply a "Reichsthaler" as soon as the context makes it clear that a coin is mentioned.

 Non-decimal currencies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A third of a German Gulden (of 60 Kreuzer) is 20 Kreuzer, a third of a Dollar 33.33 cents - if you need coins mostly to pay for bread, you might go for the non-decimal currency.
A second topic interfered: Fundamental units like the Reichsthaler/ Rixdollar/ Riksdaler/ Rijksdaalder/ Rigsdaler were widely accepted as a medium of accounting - matching different and changing local coins in Stockholm, Copenhagen, Antwerp, or Cologne.
It is hence problematic to give the following list - it is a list of examples picked from different periods.

 [No title]
A rijksdaalder was fl 2.50, And still is. The daalder w/o rijk is NLG 1.50.
A rijksdaalder on the other hand is indeed fl 2.50 but the word is still very much in use as the coins still exist as well.
More colloquial is indeed Riks, simply phonetically derived, but also Knaak, and I don't know where that comes from.

 Lion Dollar - Introduction   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
It was lighter than the large denomination coins then in circulation, namely the ducatoon (491 grains of.920 fine silver and passing at 3 guilders or 60 stuivers) and the rijksdaalder (448 grains of.885 fine silver passing at 2 1/2 guilders or 50 stuivers).
Clearly it was more advantageous for a Dutch merchant to pay a foreign debt in lion dollars rather than in more costly rijksdaalders.
Thus, the lion dollar became the coin of choice for foreign trade.

It was worth about EUR 1.1344 if you exchanged it in time.

 Production of the Leeuwendaalder   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The Rix Dollar (also known as the Rijksdaalder or Nederlandse Rijksdaalder) was produced in six of the seven provinces, in the region of West Frisia, and in two of the cities with minting privileges as follows:
Utrecht -The obverse of the 1673 issue varies greatly from all other Rix Dollars in that it contains the bust of William III rather than the bearded knight wearing a laurel wreath.
The Bourgondische Kruisrijksdaalder (Cross Dollar) dates only include those issues minted in the area that was to become part of the United Provinces.

 DILACERATOR: Euro coins: a failed user interface
Euro coins need to be redesigned to alleviate this problem.
We need some whacky coins, like the old Dutch rijksdaalder (2.5 guilders) which was much larger than the 1 guilder piece.
Or make a big coin like the 5 mark, 50 pence and a small one like the dime.

The documents in The Hague recording the sale give the price as 60 guilders.
Although the exchange rate fluctuated, for a brief time in the 17th century, including when the sale date occurred, two and a half guilders was equivalent to one rijksdaalder, so 60 guilders did indeed equal 24 dollars.
The land had potential but needed clearing before it could be useful agriculturally - rather like buying Florida swampland.
