The gulden is the unit of currency in the Netherlands Antilles. In English it is also called the "guilder."
From 1828 onward the Dutch gulden was the currency of Curaçao; (note that the name 'Netherlands Antilles' was introduced in 1954; before that, the island group was named after the largest island, Curaçao.) The island of Curaçao first issued its own coins and banknotes, denominated in the Dutch currency. Following the Second World War, these were superseded by issues in the name of the Netherlands Antilles, with the link to the Dutch currency being broken.
In 1986, Aruba gained the 'status aparte' and thereby left the Netherlands Antilles. Shortly after that Aruba began to issue its own currency, the Aruban florin, which replaced the Netherlands Antillean gulden on that island.
