Explanatory note The CBA has issued these Reproduction conditions to avoid confusion by the public. Portrayals of the 2019 series Aruban florin banknotes are allowed, provided that they comply with the rules contained in these conditions. It is not important through which technique the portrayals are generated. The conditions relate in principle to all possible portrayals, including modified or distorted portrayals. Fantasy expressions that do not resemble the original banknotes anymore, however, are not subject to the conditions. Also intangible electronic reproductions of the 2019 series Aruban florin banknotes on websites are allowed, provided that they comply with the provisions contained in article 2, second paragraph, sub e. The portrayal can be both one-sided or two-sided, provided that the mandatory minimum and maximum size is taken into account. The portrayal of a one-sided reproduction must be at least 125% of both the length and width or at the most 75% of both the length and width of the original 2019 series Aruban florin banknotes. For a two-sided reproduction the size must be at least 200% of both the length and width and at the most 50% of both the length and width of the original 2019 series Aruban florin banknote. After all, public confusion need not be feared, if there are considerably enlarged or reduced portrayals. The portrayal is placed on material that clearly and immediately cognizably deviates from paper or paper- like material. The danger of public confusion is deemed to be the greatest if paper or other material is used that strongly resembles paper. Portrayals on other materials, such as plastic, stone, glass, wood or fabric, are allowed. It should be immediately clear to everyone that it is not paper or paper-like materials.
