History & Notable Facts
The 1986 Aruba 5 Florin coin marked the island's first autonomous currency issue after gaining status aparte from the Netherlands Antilles.
That separation brought a series of silver commemoratives, each struck at the Royal Dutch Mint in Utrecht. Designs ranged from Aruba's coat of arms to local landmarks, all on 0.925 fine silver planchets. Production ran until 2010, with variations in weight and edge details depending on the year.
We don't know the exact mintage for every issue; some figures were never published. Still, these coins circulated widely in Aruba before being phased out.
Collectors sometimes overvalue the early ones, as if silver alone makes history. It doesn't.
