Belgian franc

The story

The monetary law of 5 June 1832 made the franc the successor to Netherlands-florin reckoning in Belgian public accounts. Earlier florin contracts, orders and mandates were to be performed at 47¼ Netherlands cents per franc. Public and administrative acts were to state francs and centimes from 1 January 1833. ^[1]

The Belgian franc adopted the French monetary standard, but the account obligations it replaced were denominated in Netherlands florins. Standard adoption and account succession describe different parts of its history. The Dutch guilder continued outside Belgium. ^{[2] [4] [1]}
