Aruba 5 florins Soldachi Crab KM-65 Wildlife Fauna PR 69 PCGS silver coin 2018

The Aruba 5 Florin 2018 “Soldachi Crab” silver coin celebrates the island’s vibrant wildlife and the natural beauty of its Caribbean coastline. Struck in Proof and certified PR69 PCGS, it combines brilliant surfaces with rich color detailing, showcasing one of Aruba’s most recognizable coastal species.

The obverse features a full-color depiction of the soldachi hermit crab on a bright sandy beach. The scene includes lush green coastal vegetation, gentle ocean waves, a vivid blue sky, scattered white clouds, and a glowing yellow sun — all forming a striking tropical landscape. The crab itself is rendered in detailed red, orange, and brown tones, with clearly visible legs, claws, and its patterned shell. The inscriptions ARUBA and SOLDACHI frame the design within a clean silver border.

The reverse displays the national coat of arms of Aruba: a heraldic shield divided into four sections with symbols of local flora, the island’s mountains and waters, a handshake representing unity, and a ship’s wheel symbolizing navigation. The shield is topped by a lion and framed by laurel branches. Surrounding inscriptions include ARUBA 2018, a small crown, the denomination 5 FLORIN, and the mint mark. Every detail — from the lion’s mane to the wave lines — stands out crisply against the reflective Proof field.

This beautifully crafted silver issue is perfect for collectors of world wildlife themes and modern Caribbean numismatics.
