| Obverse description | The crowned shield of the Netherlands Antilles coat of arms is depicted centrally in the field, bearing six stars arranged in two columns representing the six islands of the federation, surmounted by a royal crown. The denomination numeral '5' appears to the left of the shield and the denomination letter 'G' to the right, flanking the arms. A scroll ribbon below the shield bears the motto LIBERTATE UNANIMUS. The circular legend DE NEDERLANDSE ANTILLEN runs along the upper periphery within a beaded border, and the date 2024 is inscribed in the lower exergue. |

The Antillean guilder survived the dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles in 2010, continuing as joint legal tender for Curaçao and Sint Maarten under the newly established Centrale Bank van Curaçao en Sint Maarten. This 2024 issue marks its formal retirement — Curaçao is scheduled to adopt the US dollar, while Sint Maarten's monetary future remains a separate negotiation with the Dutch government.
Aureate Bonded Steel was developed as a cost-effective alternative to bronze after rising copper prices made traditional alloy coinage economically impractical for many issuing authorities in the late twentieth century.
