Coat of arms of the Netherlands Antilles

The coat of arms of the Netherlands Antilles consisted of a shield, a crown and the motto.

The shield itself showed five blue stars on a golden background, within a red border.

These five stars stood for the five islands of the Netherlands Antilles and also were represented in the flag.

This coat of arms replaced the previous version, which had been in use since 23 October 1964 and contained six stars: again one for each island including Aruba.

The arms were made redundant after the dissolution of the Netherlands Antilles on 10 October 2010.
