Aruba separated from the Netherlands Antilles on 1 January 1986, and this note was issued that same year as part of the founding series of the Centrale Bank van Aruba — one of the first acts of the newly autonomous territory's financial infrastructure. The Aruban florin replaced the Netherlands Antillean guilder at par for Aruban transactions, a clean break with no revaluation required.
Enschedé had been printing Dutch colonial and Caribbean currency for generations by this point, and their Haarlem facility handled the entire inaugural series. The security thread on this issue is a simple unwindowed type, consistent with mid-1980s Enschedé production standards before the shift to wider feature threads later in the decade.
