| Reverse description | The central field depicts a group of six children of varying ages dancing in a circle, their figures rendered in bold relief in a stylised, joyful composition commemorating the International Year of the Child. Below the central design, the denomination 25 G is inscribed between two emblems: the UNICEF logo flanked by laurel sprigs on the right, and the United Nations emblem on the left. The circumferential legend NEDERLANDSE ANTILLEN arcs across the upper field, and a beaded border frames the entire reverse. |

| Additional information |
Issued to mark UNICEF's support for the International Year of the Child, declared by the United Nations for 1979. The Netherlands Antilles had a history of producing commemorative silver issues tied to UN initiatives, partly as a revenue mechanism — collector coins were a meaningful export for a small island federation with limited economic diversification.
Queen Juliana abdicated in April 1979, just months after this coin entered production, making it one of the last Netherlands Antilles issues struck under her name.
