Definitions

en
In 's-Gravenhage (Den Haag, municipality in the province of South-Holland, the Netherlands) a Mint for Holland was established between 1454-1455 during the reign of Philips the Good (1433-1467). Receipts were issued here in 1975 during the Batavian Republic. During both World War I and World War II the city issued emergency money. Because The Hague is the current seat of government—and thus the home of the Ministry of Finance—it is the official place where banknotes are issued in the Netherlands.
