Collection: Banknotes of the Netherlands Antilles

The Netherlands Antillean guilder circulated for over a century under a single bank for six Caribbean islands, from Curaçao to Sint Maarten. The Curaçaosche Bank, founded in 1828, is one of the oldest issuing banks still operating in the Americas.

One banknote for six islands

The first issues, from 1892, featured denominations in cents and guilders; in 1900, banknotes of up to 500 guilders were added. From 1954, the name "Nederlandse Antillen" appeared printed on the reverse, and in 1962, the bank was renamed Bank van de Nederlandse Antillen.

Birds of the Caribbean

Starting in 1986, when Aruba separated from the territory, the series incorporated birds native to the islands—troupials, hummingbirds, flamingos—as the central motif of each denomination, replacing the previous institutional iconography.
