The Republic of the Seven United Netherlands (or "of the Seven United Low Countries") ; also Dutch Republic or United Provinces in short, Belgica Foederata in Latin) was a European republic between 1581 ad 1795, in the same location as the modern Kingdom of the Netherlands, which is the successor state.

In the 1600’s, the “Golden Age” of Dutch history, the Netherlands became a great sea and colonial power. This was due, in no small part, to the Dutch East India Company (Vereenigde Oostindishche Compagnie, or VOC, in Dutch). The VOC was the first company in the world to issue stock, and by 1669, it had become the richest private company the world had ever seen, with over 150 merchant ships, 40 warships, 50,000 employees, and a private army of 10,000 soldiers. The VOC assumed many of the functions of the government of the Netherlands, including minting coins, which circulated wherever the Dutch settled or traded.
