The Caribbean guilder replaced the Netherlands Antillean guilder on 1 January 2025, following the dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles in 2010 — a fifteen-year gap during which Curaçao and Sint Maarten continued using the old currency under transitional arrangements. The Centrale Bank van Curaçao en Sint Maarten, established to serve both constituent countries jointly, issued this series as the first entirely new currency for the territory since 1970.
Crane Currency's Malta facility, which has produced banknotes for a range of Caribbean and small-state issuers since the mid-2010s, handled production. The security package is relatively modest for a 2025 issue — watermark and thread only, without windowed foil elements or color-shifting ink.
