10 Caribbean Guilders
Curaçao and Sint Maarten · Centrale Bank van Curaçao en Sint Maarten
The 10 Caribbean Guilder note entered circulation on 31 March 2025, replacing the Netherlands Antillean Guilder. Predominantly yellow and measuring 147 x 66 mm, the vertical front depicts a gray angelfish alongside a Queen Conch shell, celebrating the marine biodiversity of the Leeward islands. The horizontal reverse shows the iconic lighthouse on Klein Curacao, the uninhabited islet southeast of Curacao. Security features include a MOTION SURFACE stripe, a RAPID HD Detect micro-optic thread, a compass watermark, SPARK Flow color-shifting ink, and raised intaglio lines for visually impaired users. Printed on cotton paper by Crane Currency, the series was developed with input from CARMABI and the Sint Maarten Nature Foundation.
