| Comments |
The Caribbean guilder replaced the Netherlands Antillean guilder on 1 January 2025, when Curaçao and Sint Maarten formally launched their shared currency — the only monetary union between two countries within the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The 200 denomination sits at the top of the inaugural series, which comprised notes designed by the Curaçaoan studio Ome Jan en Madam Janti. Crane Currency's Malta facility, which has produced security documents for a range of Caribbean and European issuers, handled production.
The Netherlands Antillean guilder it replaced had been in use since 1952 — over seven decades of continuous circulation across islands that have since gone their separate political ways.
