Aruba's 200 florin is the highest denomination in the island's current series, introduced well after the florin replaced the Netherlands Antillean guilder following Aruba's separation from the Netherlands Antilles in 1986. Crane Currency — the Massachusetts firm best known for producing the substrate used in US Federal Reserve notes — printed this series, one of the relatively few sovereign issues where Crane took on both paper supply and full note production.
Watermarking on cotton substrate at this denomination is unremarkable by modern standards, though the 200 florin sees limited day-to-day use given Aruba's heavily dollarized tourist economy.
