Aruba's central bank was established in 1986, the year the island achieved its separate Status Aparte within the Kingdom of the Netherlands — splitting off from the Netherlands Antilles in a political arrangement unique in the Caribbean. This 25 Florin note, issued four years into that experiment, was part of the first complete series Aruba produced as a self-governing entity.
Evelino Fingal, the Aruban artist who designed the series, was a local appointment — unusual for a region where banknote design had long been handled by metropolitan contractors. Enschedé's Haarlem presses have been printing Dutch colonial and post-colonial currency since the nineteenth century; their involvement here was a matter of continuity as much as capability.
