| Obverse description | Bust of a bearded European explorer wearing a broad-brimmed hat occupies the left and lower portions of the field, rendered in low relief against a smooth gold ground. To the right and behind the explorer's figure, a period sailing vessel — likely a Spanish caravel — is depicted navigating open waters, with scattered rocks or islets visible nearby, evoking the 1499 European discovery of Aruba. The denomination legend '100 FLORIN' and the issuer name 'ARUBA' are inscribed in bold sans-serif capitals to the upper right of the field. The overall composition commemorates the quincentennial of the island's discovery. |
