Definição

• Originally a billon, and later a copper coin of the Low Countries and various German States, dating from the middle of the sixteenth century. The Munten Ordonnantie of 1576 gives forty Stuivers as the equivalent of the silver Rijder of Priesland and Gueldres. A later Ordonnantie of 1652 mentions thirty Stuivers as being equal to one Ducatone, fifteen Stuivers as equal to a quarter Crown of Burgundy, one quarter Stuiver as equal to one silver Oord, and five Stuivers as equal to a Spanish Real.

  There is an extensive series of Stuivers issued by the Dutch for their possessions in the East, struck in copper, lead and silver. For details conf. the works of Moquette and Millies (passim). See also Stiver.

  The word is still retained in Holland to designate the current copper coin of five cents.
