A smooth border connects the front and back of each coin. The edge features the inscription GOD*ZIJ*MET*ONS (God be with us).
Curaçao and Sint Maarten, along with Aruba, Bonaire, St. Eustatius, Saba, and the Netherlands, comprise the Kingdom of the Netherlands, with King Willem-Alexander as head of state.
The coin features a golden effigy of the King, along with his name ‘Willem-Alexander’ and the words ‘Koning der Nederlanden’ (King of the Netherlands).
The island of Curaçao, surrounded by the Caribbean Sea. Look closely at the waves formed by the words ‘Curaçao’.
Underneath the island of Curaçao are two Green Sea Turtles native to the Caribbean Sea. Young sea turtles hatch from nests dug by their mothers on sandy beaches and spend the first 3 to 5 years of their lives in floating sargassum fields. These fields provide protection from predators and a source of food. Juveniles are carnivorous, feeding on invertebrates and small fish. Male turtles never return to land, while females only come ashore as adults to lay eggs.
