Rixdollar
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rixdollar was the English name for silver coins used throughout northern Europe, originally based on the Reichsthaler & Rijksdaalder. Coins by this or related names were introduced into various countries at different times in attempts to stabilize the currency.
The same term was also used of currency in the Cape Colony and Ceylon. However, only the Rixdollar existed as a coin in Ceylon. Unissued remainder banknotes for the Cape of Good Hope denominated in Rixdollars exist, but these are very rare.
