The Netherlands Antilles comprise the islands of Aruba, Bonaire and Curaçao off the coast of Venezuela and St. Eustatius and St. Maarten in the Leeward Islands. Coinage was issued for Curaçao during World War Two, while the island was occupied by American troops, but nothing was issued for the island group as a whole until 1952. This type was struck specifically for Curaçao (and is listed therein in the SCWC) 1944 and 1947 and is common.
