daalderとは 意味・読み方・使い方

The Thaler (or Taler or Talir) was a silver coin used throughout Europe for almost four hundred years. Its name lives on in various currencies as the dollar or tolar. Etymologically, "Thaler" is an abbreviation of "Joachimsthaler", a coin type from the city of Joachimsthal (Jáchymov) in Bohemia, where some of the first such coins were minted in 1518. (Thal is German for "dale" or "dell"; they all mean "valley". Therefore a "thaler" is a person or a thing "from the valley". In 1902, the official spelling was changed from Thal to Tal. The English version does not reflect this change.)
