5 Florins - Beatrix Year of the Dolphin

The "Year of the Dolphin" designation refers to the UNEP and CMS joint campaign launched in 2007 to draw international attention to threats facing cetacean populations worldwide. Aruba participated through this commemorative issue, one of several small island nations that used the campaign as a platform for limited silver coinage aimed squarely at the collector market rather than circulation.

KM#41 sees relatively modest collector attention outside of Aruban and Dutch Caribbean specialists.
