Comments

From January 1 1986, Aruba has become a Sovereign country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands. In addition to is own parliament and the rule of law, Aruba also introduced its own currency: the Florin.
The first Aruba notes have a Papiamento Bank title. The appearance is reminiscent of the last series of the Netherlands Antilles, of which was part of.
