The Herrebrugher guilder (Batavian Netherdutch: Herrebrugſche gulden; High Dutch: Herrenbrückiſcher Gulden) or ƒ is the currency of Herrebrugh, and has been ſince 1890 with the aboliſhment of the Britiſh pound. A ſtrong ſenſe of tradition amongſt the Dutch population of Herrebrugh has led to the introduction of a non-decimal currency with coins that had at the time already been removed from circulation in the country of origin (the Netherlands).

The Dutch name gulden is Middle Dutch for "golden", as it uſed to refer to a coin made of gold.

By His Majeſty's perſonal command, all coins except for the double ſtiver and below have since 2014 been produced in all major languages of the Herrebrugh Iſlands.
