Comment
Issued into general circulation in Aruba in 2006 with enhanced security features including micro-text lettering on the two lines of the coin, a security edge with a smooth center and inscriptions inside the edge and an engraving of a crown within the effigy of Queen Beatrix. These features were needed in response to the discovery of high quality forgeries of the original 5 florin coin.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Florin - Beatrix 2005-2013 coin from Aruba (Netherlands) is that it features a unique design that reflects the island's culture and history. The coin's obverse side features a portrait of Queen Beatrix, while the reverse side depicts a traditional Aruban fishing boat, known as a "panga," along with a representation of the island's coastline and a few palm trees. This design was created by the Dutch artist, Joost van der Meer, and it was specifically chosen to highlight Aruba's maritime heritage and its connection to the Netherlands.
