| Opmerkingen |
Aruba's central bank was established in 1986 following the island's separation from the Netherlands Antilles — a political split that left Aruba as a constituent country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands rather than fully independent, a distinction that continues to define its monetary arrangements. Enschedé, printing Dutch colonial and Caribbean currency since the nineteenth century, was the natural choice for the new institution's notes.
Evelino Fingal's involvement as designer is the more unusual detail here — a locally engaged designer rather than a house commission, which was not universal practice for small Caribbean issuers of this period.
