Aruba separated from the Netherlands Antilles on 1 January 1986 under a "Status Aparte" arrangement, establishing its own central bank and florin the same year. The Centrale Bank van Aruba has consistently contracted outside the Caribbean for its printing, and Crane Currency — the Massachusetts firm better known for supplying the U.S. Federal Reserve with substrate — has handled Aruban issues in recent years.
The 2019 date places this within the current family of Aruban notes, updated from earlier series but retaining the florin at its longstanding peg of 1.79 AWG to the U.S. dollar, a rate that has held without adjustment since 1986.
