Editing Guilder (section)

==Currency guilder==
With increasingly standardized currencies in the early modern period, ''gulden'' or ''guilder'' became a term for various early modern and modern currencies, detached from actual gold coins. The [[Dutch guilder]] first emerged as the currency of the [[Burgundian Netherlands]] after the monetary reforms of 1435, under [[Philip the Good]].{{r|Munro}}{{rp|page=20|quote=With monetary unification in 1435, the florin or gulden money-of-account thus worth 40d.

The [[Reichsmünzordnung]] of 1524 defined fixed standards for the gold [[Rhenish gulden]] and the [[Guldengroschen]] of equal value. By 1551, however, both coins were valued at 72 [[kreuzer]], and a new guilder currency unit of 60 kreuzer was defined.{{r|Shaw_1896}}{{rp|page = 364-365}} The latter gulden was then defined over the succeeding centuries as a currency unit worth a fraction of the silver [[Reichsthaler]].

In 1753, [[Austria-Hungary]] and [[Bavaria]] agreed to the Conventions monetary standard which resulted into two differently valued gulden: the [[Austro-Hungarian florin]] of the [[Austrian Empire]] from 1754 to 1892, and the [[South German gulden]] of the Southern German states from 1754, until German unification in 1871. Currencies identical to the [[South German gulden]] include the [[Bavarian gulden]], [[Baden gulden]] & the [[Württemberg gulden]].

A [[Danzig gulden]] was in use from 1923 to 1939.
