gulden

Where it comes from

From Middle English, from Middle Dutch gulden (florijn) (“golden (florin)”).

noun guldens · gulden

historical An old currency of the Netherlands (and its former overseas territory the Netherlands Antilles or the Dutch East Indies). The wheel spun and stopped at 13. I had lost! With a feeling like a sick qualm, as though I would like to make my way out of the crowd and go home, I staked another fifty gulden—this time on the red.
