| Obverse lettering | 25 FLORIN ARUBA |
| Reverse description | A composite central device juxtaposes two contrasting cultural motifs: on the left, a stylized aboriginal petroglyph stone bearing incised curvilinear designs, and on the right, an open Spanish folding fan with radiating ribs, the two elements partially overlapping to symbolize the meeting of indigenous and European traditions. The circumferential legend 'TRADITION WITH VISION' arcs across the upper field, while the commemorative dates '1499 - 1999' appear in the lower field, flanked by small decorative stars, marking the 500th anniversary of the discovery of Aruba. |
