| Obverse description | Dutch-language inscriptions frame the face of the note, with a vignette of a Chelonia mydas (green sea turtle) as the central design element. An optically variable ink (OVI) element in a blue-to-green colour shift renders the favored tellin shell motif at lower left. The overall underprint employs fine guilloche patterns in the note's dominant colour palette. |

The Caribbean guilder replaced the Netherlands Antillean guilder when the former Netherlands Antilles dissolved as a political entity in 2010, but the actual introduction of physical Caribbean guilder banknotes was delayed by well over a decade — this 2025 series marks the long-deferred physical realization of that monetary transition. Curaçao and Sint Maarten are the only two constituent countries that share the Centrale Bank van Curaçao en Sint Maarten, making it one of the few remaining joint central banks operating across two legally distinct jurisdictions.
Crane Currency's Malta facility, formerly De La Rue's island plant before Crane's acquisition of that operation, handles production for a range of smaller issuing authorities.
