| Additional information |
The Dutch guilder had circulated in various forms since the 17th century, and this 2001 issue marks its deliberate retirement as the Netherlands transitioned to the euro. The "Last Gulden" designation was an official acknowledgment — the mint explicitly framed this as a farewell piece, struck in silver where the circulating coin was nickel, specifically for collectors who wanted a keepsake of a currency being legislated out of existence.
Euro coins became legal tender in the Netherlands on 1 January 2002, with the guilder losing its status entirely by 28 January of that year.
