The 25 Florin banknote, issued on January 1, 2019 by the Central Bank of Aruba, is part of the vibrant “Life in Aruba” series showcasing the island’s flora, fauna, and cultural heritage. Printed vertically on high-quality paper (148 × 74 mm) by Crane Currency, the obverse features a colorful troupial bird, a burrowing owl (Shoco), and a passion flower. The reverse highlights Arawak cave paintings, Amerindian pottery, and traditional floor tiles.

This note includes modern security features—Motion Surface windowed thread, parrot-head OVI ink, and an owl’s head watermark with electrotype bank logo—designed to enhance durability and counterfeiting resilience. Launched on June 3, 2019, the 2019 series received international recognition: the 25 Florin note was nominated for “Banknote of the Year 2019” by the International Bank Note Society. It fully replaced the previous 2003 series by August 11, 2019.

Comments

After a successful marketing campaign, the Central Bank of Aruba launched the new series on May 17, 2019, and made it available to the public on June 3, 2019. Five new banknotes, of which one has a new denomination, were issued after years of intensive preparations and close cooperation with various local stakeholders, including the commercial banks, as well as international suppliers of banknote paper, security features and equipment. The result is quite astonishing. The public can now explore the 10, 25, 50, 100 and 200 florin banknotes in a new vertical format – each with beautiful artistic elements from the Aruban culture, flora and fauna. These are the most secure banknote features available, with features such as high-relief printing, color-changing ink, MOTION SURFACE®, a 3D moving stripe with miniaturized micro-optics from Crane Currency, which also printed the new series.
