The Belgian monetary law of 5 June 1832 replaced Netherlands-florin reckoning in Belgian public accounts and inherited obligations. Articles 25–26 prescribed 47¼ Netherlands cents per Belgian franc for earlier florin contracts, orders and mandates, and required francs and centimes in public and administrative acts from 1 January 1833. This was a territorial account substitution, not the extinction of the Dutch guilder elsewhere or an immediate recall of all older coins.
