| Additional information |
Aruba's commemorative coinage program of the 1990s was tied directly to the island's status as a separate constituent country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands — a status it has held since 1986, when it was granted its own currency and central bank after breaking from the Netherlands Antilles. The 25 florin denomination was reserved for these special issues rather than everyday commerce.
KM#18 marks the quincentennial of European contact with the island, traditionally dated to 1499 when Spanish explorers under Alonso de Ojeda made landfall.
