For the Spanish Netherlands provinces in Belgium we have this list of equivalents for the subdivisions of the Gulden (1506-1713):

1 Gulden = 20 Stuivers = 40 Groot = 80 Oorden = 160 Duiten = 960 Mijten • 1 Schelling = 6 Stuivers

and same for Spanish Netherlands provinces in Netherlands.

 

For the Dutch Republic Gulden (1581-1795), the list of equivalents is a bit shorter

1 Gulden = 20 Stuivers = 160 Duiten • 1 Schelling = 6 Stuivers

 

To the best of my knowledge, the groot and mijt are not used in the Dutch Republic coinage system, so it is correct to have removed them, but the oord continued to be struck in some of the provinces, so as we are harmonizing / simplifying the currency structure in the Dutch Republic, it would be good to add the oord into the list of subdivisions (1 Gulden = 20 Stuivers = 80 Oorden = 160 Duiten • 1 Schelling = 6 Stuivers).

Please do ! :-)

OK, this is implemented for the currency Dutch Republic - Gulden.  

It looks like it needs some time to refresh in the database.

 

The request originally came to me by PM for a Frisia coin, where this should work as soon as refresh occurs. 

 

For a few other parts of the Dutch Republic, we are in process of harmonizing currencies, and it could take a bit longer.
