An optically variable ink element in the form of a music volute conch shell, positioned at lower left, shifts from blue to green upon tilting.

| Comments |
The Caribbean guilder replaced the Netherlands Antillean guilder on 1 March 2025, becoming the shared currency of the two constituent countries of Curaçao and Sint Maarten — a monetary arrangement made structurally necessary by the 2010 dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles. The Centrale Bank van Curaçao en Sint Maarten, established precisely to manage this shared framework, issued the series as the first entirely new currency unit for these islands in decades.
Crane Currency's Malta facility — formerly De La Rue's Valletta plant before Crane acquired it in 2018 — handled production. OVI ink at this denomination shifts between two colors depending on viewing angle.
