| Opschrift voorzijde | KONINGRIJK · DER · NEDERLANDEN (Translation: Kingdom of The Netherlands) |
| Beschrijving keerzijde | The denomination numeral 5 and the abbreviation C appear prominently within concentric circular rings at the center of the square flan. At each of the four rounded corners, a decorative shell motif is rendered, each shell bearing five beads; the corner shells are connected by a continuous ornamental border element. The date 1943 is split across two of the corner shells, with 19 appearing to the left and 43 to the right, a distinctive feature of this series. The overall layout is strongly geometric, emphasizing the square format of the coin. |

Curaçao's wartime coinage exists because the German occupation of the Netherlands in May 1940 severed the island's monetary supply chain entirely. The Philadelphia Mint struck these issues under emergency arrangements, one of several Caribbean and Dutch colonial series produced there when European minting became impossible. The compositional inconsistency between the two recorded alloys — standard nickel brass versus the silver-substitute alpaca — likely reflects wartime material allocation rather than a deliberate policy change.
