The rijksdaalder was an
18th century Dutch coin worth 2½
gulden or 50
stuiver. Following
decimalization (in
1816), 2½-gulden coins were no longer produced because a 3-gulden coin was thought to better fit in the series of denominations. This turned out to be a mistake (due to the high
silver price) and from 1840 onward 2½-gulden coins were produced again. Production stopped in 2002 due to the introduction of the
euro. 2½-gulden coins were better known by their nickname rijksdaalder, daalder or knaak.
